Hi All,

rather a strange story, but I was on a Photoshoot for work yesterday and while taking a break got chatting to a guy and he noticed my BlackBay58 and started telling me about his collection and that he had some watches to sell.
Long story short I bought one of his watches later that day, but without any time to research the watch or caliber. I took a flyer and gave him 300 euros for his Cal 266. It looks wonderful IMHO and over 24 hours keeps good time and has documentation for a service 2 years ago. Measures nearly 38mm with the crown, about 36mm without (i am using a ruler, sorry). How did i do?

Happy Easter

Chris

You did good, serviced and all. 👍

Many would have looked for the perfect dial in the mind field of redials.

My first vintage watch was nothing to look at condition wise but I still love wearing it (left one)

Redials are a mind field, yes.

Thanks, i im very happy with it.

It was spontaneous and impetuos buy. That the dial has some miles on it, case to, will just mean it sees more wrist time and i i worry less about damaging a perfect example.

Happy Easter all!
