    Hello,

    It's been a busy 2014, and now we are in 2015, I have finally got round to taking some very crude images of these 2 watches. I acquired the first of the two back in June 2013, a 168 005 cal 564 with original black pie pan dial on a dog leg stainless steel case. Then back in August 2014, a second one popped up on Ebay, and when it turned out the movement serial was only 6 places apart and the dial was not only original, but in better condition than my first example, and the added bonus that the watch was only located half an hours drive away - well the deal was done and they are reunited. To think back in 1967, both watches sat almost next to each other on a bench in Switzerland assembled, packaged and then sent off to far reaches of the World, and now they are back together again! Oh, if watches could tell their tales! The seller is also a forum member here, thanks again for opportunity.
    Enough talk, here they are!
    Here's the first serial 24839070.

    I must reduce the amount of alcohol I drink during the work week, maybe that's the problem with me seeing double images...
