I haven’t seen syringe hands and radium lumed numbers on these in the past. It appears legitimate but not sure if it has been redialed or relumed. What do the experts think?
Was looking at this one too but case looks super polished and never seen those hands before. Doesn't mean they're wrong but haven't found a photo of them
It doesn't look like a redial to me. The logo looks correct and the dial signature is the same as on mine.
Do these triple calendars "know" how many days are in each month i.e. 28 for Feb and 30 for April etc.?
I think that's called perpetual calendar (?) This is a grail for me but I am not sure if the size is too small for all the complications and whether it will be too about annoying to reset the date as it's manual wind...
Not annoying in the slightest, the pleasure is in the setting up and having all those complications in a nice compact 1950's package.
This is not a perpetual calendar. It is a triple or complete calendar where it only knows months are 31 days. Perpetual calendars know how many days are in every month.
If you read who I'm replying to you'll see that is what I was referring to... Can we get a wristshot in this thread? What are servicing costs on these like? Parts hard to source?
I thought my humour and motivation was clear, I was attempting to subtlety discourage active interest in this model....I wouldn't want these TDMP's to 'do a Speedmaster' regarding prices!....Next time I'll use an emoticon to reinforce my angle.
