7006-7000 Proof 27J June 1967, with original chicklet bracelet. This is my favorite case shape


On the wrist, the chicklet has a large gap between the endlink and next link on both sides which is due to the bracelet design At beginning I tried to flatten it out but it’s just the way it’s made I think

And my two 7005-7000 from 1969, white and black.
White one has original rail bracelet, shown in catalogue for both white and black.


Black has solid link Stelux bracelet which is very nice. I think the top endlink is a mismatch however it’s 1mm narrower


The C case on this reference if simple and wears nicely. But I think I prefer the heftier case on the 7006-7000 on my previous post.

Here’s my 4006-6010 from 1970
That one is on Dan's photo list, IMO the top 6010 on there.
Very nice 👍

That's pretty interesting. I had looked at his page but didn't scroll the entire length.
Appreciate you sniffing that out.
