As there was some discussion lately about galvano sandwich dials (aka "gilt" dials) I decided to show you an uncommon specimen out of my collection.



It has a salmon/black galvano sandwich dial (pun intended )

It is a quite rare watch, not only by its design -
it houses the elusive calibre 30 SC T1 which was built in the limited number of 2400 units only.

And the condition is near mint - it was one of these incredible finds in an oil filled tin can in a wall when they restored a flat in Bulgaria. The can full with watches was walled during the war when the watchmaker had to flee.

Superb pictures of an awesome watch!

 

I've heard from you guys before a little of this famous "Tin Can Watches" story, but maybe nice for our newer members if you were to retell some of the very juicy details regarding numbers and models?

 

Rather tasty Erich.
I'm hungry now.

 

Incredible Watch!.....and a great pairing with Smoked Salmon and Caviar.

+1 on the oil can story!

 

great watch but wrong strap, you should use one made of salmon:

 

Cool

 

Would love to hear more about the story!

 

What a watch in condition like that......

 

Very nicely done!

 

I would absolutely eat that..

 

Feeling my inner bear come out

 

Wonderful presentation and watch.

 

Fantastic looking watch!

 

Now I'm hungry like a bear!

 

That's what he said?

Just for you!


Anybody else with dibs on all contents of cans?
