New arrival today... My first Pontiac, the dial has a really nice patina dial, black brownish coloured.
I haven't posted in this thread in quite awhile . . . This MC12-H with its pale champagne colored dial, sharply blued and lumed hands and mint tritium just came back from the watchmaker nearly a year to the day I sent it out. They usually take 2 to 4 months, but they tell me they have been flooded with new work and have fallen behind. Today: Note the bright blue tips on the ends of the central minutes and central seconds hands. It's just the way the light is hitting at the point where the hand tips curve down. This from a couple days ago illustrates how the blued hands behave in bright light at various angles: The iPhone image capture causes the watch to look a bit washed out, which is not indicative of how it looks to the eye of the wearer! This particular watch and one other I bought from the same seller, must have spent most of its life in a safe. The edges of the lugs are so sharp one can practically cut oneself with them. In fact, the case back has shaved the strap a bit at the springbar centers. Cheers, Joe
