··His Holiness Puer SurdusTerrific find!
Centenary are really cool. Were't they the precursor of the Constellation?

·... off my grail list.
Thank you all for sticking with me this long. I'll try to get a better picture when the 18mm arrives later this week
Take care, and as @Bill Sohne says, "Good Hunting"!

That's a good story and congrats on your acquisition. Eagerly waiting for the pics you promised. I imagine it will look gorgeous on the wrist.

·Also the spring bars on 2499 tested out to be the original solid gold ones right? Amazing to have it still on the original watch after all these years.

·That 2499 is also a grail of mine. Love seeing it together with its brother. Do you find that they wear different from the size difference?

··ΩF InvestiGatorGorgeous. Did you do something to remove that blotch on the 2500. It's hardly visible now and I wouldn't have found in the pic if I didn't already know about it from the aquisition thread were it was described.

I put the springbars away and haven’t had them tested yet. I don’t know if they are original or not.
The watchband on both watches are Vietnamese alligator from VinaCreations. They come with quick release springbars, so there is no reason to chance a failure of the originals.
