I wore mine for years ... my parents got it for me for a belated graduation ( by like 10 years !)

I was still in high school. Graduated in 1968. That's why I remember. 😁

5512 reporting for duty.
With Superdome.
IV 67 1.8m
Long story on this one. It's posted on the forum
These are interesting. Here's the story by jedly over on VRF
During the transition phase from the gloss dials to the matte dial we would see all the way through the 1970's there was a roughly 12 month period where these interesting dial were used..all the ones i have owned have been dated 67). They have the luminous mixture and application of a gilt dial but on what would become a standard matte dial layout, i am not suggesting this commands a premium, just that you see very few of them and with their big 'half malteser' markers that just like a gilt dial still can be stirred to give some luminousity they certainly wear well on the wrist and are unmistakably 60's rather than 70's. And They STILL Glow!
