First post as well. 馃榾

Has anyone come across this version of the Eterna Kontiki with a silver dial and date from circa 1958. This one is all original with Gay Freres bracelet and original crystal. It has the 1422UD automatic movement in it which is very clean. The case is in very good condition as well. I haven't been able to find another silver dial version anywhere. , so I suspect it might be quite rare.
That last photo injured my own left wrist.

Last wrist shot picture is a symptom of all the Festive Season indulgences. Time for the gym for 2020 馃榾 Loads of room for bracelet adjustment either way.

Thanks. It's my little 3 year old daughter Darcey, who my wife caught examining some of Daddy's watches with an eyepiece. Note the intensity of her left eye. A one in a million photo. 馃榾

Really fantastic piece, and a marvellous boon from Horus. Don't ever sell it, lest you incur their displeasure :0
