This 1956 Seamaster Chrono 2886 has very pleasing patina and it will be posted for sale here later today!

 

Sorry for duplicate post… really interested about what people think about this one. I was discussing it with a friend.
He thought the dial had too many specs for him. I thought the specs were the one reason I found the watch interesting.

So, what do you think?

 

I like it.
Not perfect, but perfectly good!

 

I like it as well, the speckles are regular and not very noticeable, the dial looks like a nice pimpled face

 

C'est malin. No, not a pimpled face at all-- a nice freckled face-- BIG difference.

 

Merde, my bad!

You're right, I meant freckled

 

Very nice lume on this one, even the pearl

I've a lot of good ones and i especially like the aesthetic quality of a black dial which turns chocolate colored. Here are (2) I really like:

 

Love the patina.... looks vintage

 

So far, its this one.

 

Very Cool!

Reposting the Seamaster as it got a new strap this summer giving it a whole new character.... and a US military pilot watch (Waltham A17, 1956 issue) with a lot of radium lume.
