Just arrived yesterday ... I think this one deserves a proper photo shoot, TBD.
Blue bezel, blue dial, 01.0140.415 A782

There’s a pleasure in patina, wabi sabi in the worn,
but when I find a watch that looks as if new it transports me back in time - a time machine.

Awesome. Great piece. Can you send le some more pics? I assume you purchased this at a French auction earlier this year? Congrats! M

Correction. The Wannenes auction in Monaco in December? M

Yes, that’s the one. I’ll be happy to put up some pictures when home, but for now these are from the auction house, on request.

Thanks. There were only 500 of these made. There were no photos of it in Rossler’s bible, so a lot of folks aren’t as familiar with it. Congrats’ again. I am glad it ended up in good hands. M

Lovely. I have seen some of these with black hands instead of silver--are both correct?

I seem to recall that Silver was original and the Black may have been used on late models and/or service replacements.
