Thanks to @Tony C. for giving some great input on this watch and the Eterna c.852 base movement...so cool that he has the same one! Anyway, thought the forum would enjoy seeing this rather unique piece from Gubelin with its 37mm case, radium markers. and crazy lugs. Calatrava was meant to entice a squirrel... Some glamour shots...
I think so, it is super reflective at certain angles, and under a loupe you can see the crackle, but hell, I could be wrong.
Well hell...goes to show that you learn something new every day...this is about as much a gilt dial as it is a Calatrava! Thanks @Foo2rama for pointing it out. For some reason I thought gilt was the printing and the lacquer finish on the dial...didn't realize it needed to be gold
