I have a love-hate relationship with chocolate dials. Congrats!

Ahhhh... so it was you. Well done.
Calling dibs. 😉

I figured that other OFers were bidders. Always happens. 😀

I’m curious @Dan S were you watching it in April for the first auction? (Covid canceled, postponed til last weekend)

No, actually, I don't think I was paying attention to the auction in April

The aged lume on the hands and dials is pretty nice and goes well with the dial. There is something to be said about aging gracefully.

You’ve given a lot of constructive feedback to many members here, so I look at it like well-deserved karma.

That is a nice catch. It looks like the case gasket may be the original...you will have to save it in a Ziploc bag with oxygen scavengers for posterity so that it can be analyzed and remanufactured in the future(I am kidding). I don't seek out brown dials myself, but this one has what could comfortably be called patina.

Too bad no one told that to Joan Rivers...

Maybe karma was involved, but unfortunately I also had to pay for it. 😉
