    Definitely one of the most gorgeous watches from the 60s.

    And it is in excellent condition. Congratulations.

    That looks lovely. Great condition, clean dial. No obvious issues that I can see

    I didn’t like it when I saw. All the watch is in mint condition, but as soon as I saw it, I wanted to open and check the movement.

    The condition of the case is amazing, the bezel is like new, dial is very clean, hands seems to be original, even the clasp is hard to move... but I am not really good looking at details, so I wanted to share it with OF Comunity. I know most of you are see that small details...

    very few people would, IMO, turn that watch down because of the serial number issue. It’s not like there are thousands floating around

    It’s a very nice example but I HATE when they muck with the serial number. Better to just polish it right off.

    Back when I collected and sold ‘art deco’ stuff, I had no hesitation buying a damaged item due to rarity. Yes it would bug me but like this watch, if I felt I may not see another, I could live with it. Of course the things I was buying weren’t made in the quantities that watches were

    First time seeing this reference, very interesting. The bezel reminds me of Mr. Mime.

    I saw this before any comments and thought the serial numbers looked 'odd'; rest of watch is killer!
    I would buy this watch as well w that minor issue, if price was right.
    Great score!

    Thanks for all of your comments. It is so nice and good condition, so it is now part of my collection.

    Probably my most desired watch from a while, and the one that fulfill more the expectations!!

    some pictures to enjoy
