·My first incoming in a while. Unpolished and oversized rose gold "Truman" reference 12551 (cal 287) with an amazing copper dial, lighter sub dials, and gold foil numbers. I've never seen this dial before. It's quite hard to photograph properly, as it changes with the light. I have seen a few other copper dials before, but never with the subdials offset in a lighter color. I think it makes this one look especially nice.
This came from an elderly doctor in Spain, who received it as a gift from his father (also a doctor), as a graduation present, many years ago.
This watch epitomizes what I love about UG, namely unique and beautiful combinations, that can still be found over 75 years later, for the first time (at least to me).
It's pictured on a dark brown 20mm suede UG strap from the 50s, with a matching UG buckle.
I think it's pretty amazing, and hope you all enjoy it as well. It really needs a video to capture the dial, but will do my best with some stills......
