got it
better be not a repainted dial
what are those damages by the way? oxidation / mold / water/ UV/ clear coat or under paint or metal plate, just curiousl
they are randomly scattered, as stars in the sky and constellation 😁



Cause? ALL you list plus bad MOJO.

So many gorgeous watches...I want one but they keep evading me. A couple of you are keeping your eyes open for me which is very kind. If anyone comes across a nice 14381 they know is for sale, drop me a line, or anything from around that period (late 50s to mid 60s). Then again, I've only been looking for three months, so...early days?

Welcome to ΩF!
Most of us have spent several years to find our watches. Patience and perseverance pays off. Don't forget small auction houses and flea markets.

Thanks for these wise words. I think patience and vigilance will be the key. And to think that only a few months ago I thought I was just going out to buy a nice watch!

Does this classify as a dome dial, it's, well, not as domed as some of the others? 167.005 with a 551movement.

I'd call it a dome dial - certainly not a pie pan...and it's gorgeous. I'd be happy, very happy, if I ended up with anything like that!

It's a beauty indeed, lucky to have it, picked it up here on OF about a year ago, they do come up occasionally.

You wouldn’t know if it's a BA/BD or a CD/CE version, would you? Just idle interest. I know far too much about these watches for someone who's never even seen a dome dial let alone owned one. Bit tragic really...
