So detailed close up.

 

Chris - amazing Connie, well done & congrats!!

And your photography skills ... very nice capture of the details. Your pics certainly do the watch justice

Spencer

 

Thank you very much

What I find amazing about these old textured dials is the quality of the printing. When a watch like this is under a loupe it is clear to see but most of the time in photo´s that just doesn´t come across very well and that is what I tried to emphasize.

The printing is so sharp on what appears to a very awkward surface. I would love to learn more about the process used back in the 1950´s to achieve this result.

 

14k 2652, cal 354. I believe to be non refinished dial

 

Pie Pan 168.0005 564 Cal. 1968
just purchased

 

Terrific example. I too need a SS.

 

A 1966 Cal 564 with a recessed crown.

 

One is cal 354 from1952, and the other just is....

 

you don't have to shoot them both in soft focus -the 'other one' will never know.......

give us some decent pics of your 1952 Connie

 

She is a kind of shy after "watchmaker" raped her dial years before i save her....

I try to take better pics later.

 

aah bless....
(after the 'other one' has gone to bed?)

 

A little better?

 

much better -thank you
feel free to post pics of the medallion, case back and movement if you have them

 

Like this? This was my wifes grandfathers watch

 

And this?

 

yep -just the ticket
nice family heirloom to keep a hold of
does the inscription say 1957?
if that is a 9M serial number it appears to date it to around 1950

 

14m....

 

that makes more sense -more like '56 then -fits with the 57 date

 

This is the latest 2648 I've seen. Most of them have the serial in the 12-13M range. The vertical line of the cross-hair looks to be off center though.

 

I think it's an old redial.
