I've been on the lookout for one of these pointer dates for quite some time. Ref 6605-4 from ~1950. A black gilt dial with a blue pointer, which seems to be somewhat uncommon.

Although I do remember a nice example (different variant) from @tmw57 from some time ago.

Just picked up this lot, still haven't even gone through them to figure out what I have.

Say, I recognize the beauty on the lower right, it’s my favourite watch now.

I purchased this 2577 bumper from @cristos71 a couple of months back. I had fancied one for a couple of years, and struck a deal after seeing it in the for sale section with no bites..a couple of messages and it was on its way to me.

Worn daily, and hasn’t missed a beat. Probably one of my favourite watches, considering the overall cost, accuracy and charm!

I managed to source a period correct buckle from @hejsam, and had a strap made by Steveostraps, here in the U.K.

Very happy with the result!

Have a good weekend all

Got this 3594.50 about three weeks ago. Sent it out for service immediately with a request to change dials. Pretty happy with the result.

My long wanted and long awaited grail...
Very nice. I won't say it's my grail, but if I could buy one this nice, you bet!

I kindof like that strap too. Dark, but not black, ties in a bit with the gold hardware. Seems it would look sharp but not out of place in either casual or dressy wear.

Thank you Porteroso for your kind words. TBH this is actually not 'arrival' post as I have not received it yet... So I guess the strap will not come with the watch... You know what, I have prepared several straps for my black connie very long time ago, and now they are expecting their new mount coming next week...
