    It's always hard to get a decent picture of this one with all the reflections off of the black dial! :mad: The dial is really near mint though and is the best black waffle that I have owned. :thumbsup:

    Wow... beautiful pair. The waffle almost gives it a space age look.

    Those watches are around 34.5 mm, and both Mike's and Kyle's are from 1953.

    Those are absolute keepers, they are 2 of the best black waffle dials I've EVER seen hands down.

    Kyle please put it back away. I don't want it getting all scratched up before I get it.

    :p Reminds me of that car commercial where the next owner of the car tells the current owner to put a lid on her coffee so she doesn't mess up "his" car.

    That was my point . Kyle was identifying the wrong watch. He asked for a 168.005, he wants
    the 14381
    (which he is not going to get :D )
