Interesting dial, never seen 👍

The mirror dial can be found on several "electronic" watches from this period. There were Speedsonics coming with this mirror dial as well and I once owned some of them. It was a contemporary style, but not really rare IMO.

If you do some web research, you'll find other examples.

That’s the only one I found and another one with square dial. I thought they were rare 😁

I guess it's more that not so many of them survived or are shown in the web... But the mirror dial isn't uncommon at all.

You've got a very nice example there. Enjoy! 😀

Thank you very much! It appears to be unpolished. The bezel has a sunburst finish but I also saw a few with glossy ones. I’m guessing the sunburst finish is the original one.

From your pictures, your watch looks modestly worn and unpolished to me. 😉

Ive only seen a mirror dial on speedsonic lobsters. They are prone to moisture damage so finding a pristine one is hard to do. I cant say I have seen one on this reference before.

The case shape kind of resembles the Speedmaster 125.

It's rare in the sense that few models had that mirror dial option, 3 from the top of my head (don't have the case numbers, sorry) , this one, the lobster Speedsonic and the Seamaster 1310. The latter even having a chromium colored dial for the plated version. But thousands of these were made and they often pop up so that's not rare.

Now a desk clock with the 1526 caliber that's popped up twice on rBay in ten years, that's rare ;-)

Very cool watch, i love it! But then I would....

They are indeed pretty rare, took me years to find mine. Value wise I don't think their rarity adds much value over the more common dial variants.

You got a lovely bargain there BTW. I paid more than that for mine and it was in a very sorry and non running state. I spent a small fortune having it serviced/refurbished.
