Everyone loves a vintage black dial.
Here a three I have picked up over time.

The Lemania was first seen in Copenhagen, and took me a few months to wrangle it off its previous owner and sent from Norway



Freshly released by a Member in Netherlands


This one came from the USA.

Oh boy what a nice collection of black dials. I have a "thing" for black /dark dials. That Lemania looks absolutely stunning, the rest are just beautiful. Well played sir.👍

Cool watches and cool concept for a thread, i like the « across the globe » part 👍
Here are mine:
- 1940s Longines watch from Sweden;
- 1950s Zenith chronograph from former Yugoslavia, believed to be Yugoslav air force- the seller drove about 1400km in a day from Zagreb to Paris to bring it to me, and then he went to watch a Euro 2016 football game in which Croatia was playing;
- the third one is a Mido Datometer, sold to me by @Tony C. in Lisbon Portugal- a great GTG, visit and conversation.
