    Just picked up this 14381 with railroad dial and BOR bracelet. Dial has some light even spotting, but is still nice. Thanks X350 XJR, for your help! What do you think?

    Great, one of my favorite dials and much less common than a pie-pan.

    Good catch.

    Nice catch. :thumbsup: For years I was sure I wanted a crosshair dial in a 168.005 for my 551 example, but after seeing a few of these I might have to amend my Most Wanted list.

    Wow! I knew these were pretty rare, but did not know they had such a strong following on this forum! I almost passed on this because I had also bought four other watches in the last two days: a 39mm Omega Steel 2544, a Jumbo 37mm Jaeger Lecoultre Memovox Automatic w/date, a Longines All-Guard, and a Longines manual wind with "Radar Proof" and the Longines wings on the case back. Thanks folks, for reafirming my decision to pull the trigger on this today.

    What, no pictures? You happen to buy 4 watches from 3 brands I'm a fervent admirer and collector of, yet don't put one single shot of even one here. :(::confused2:: Dude, I'm deeply disappointed!

    So envious of you guys who have watch shows in your areas. Can't find any decent vintage dealers where I am. Congrats on your new treasures.
