Price aside, it’s a nice watch. Waffle is a starting to degrade, but it’s still an attractive and scarce dial. Could have been worse and could have been better 😁

Thanks! were you also bidding on this one?
Nope but I had seen the listing - if it's visible on the-saleroom this dealer will often be the buyer for watches with interesting dials from UK auctions. It's difficult to outbid them unless you are willing to lead the market and overpay in the short-term.

The market is rising again and these guys can ask seemingly limitless prices and find buyers.

Maybe it will be 8000 euros on Chrono24 next week if that Goldberger collection buyer spots it 😉

I picked up mine some years ago and it's still one of my favourite 1950's SM's

Very sharp.

Lovely examples @cristos71 @MSNWatch
Just noticed that both your examples have white text consistent with the silver hands and markers, but the vision vintage one has gold text and silver hands & markers.

My observation is that the hand color follows the color of the dial markers.
