The 178 looks fine, again has WOG which suggests early. Minute totaliser is wrong, other hands look good. In summary - with the exception of the one subdial hand it looks good to me - my only concern would be that there are a number of indicators that it may be earlier than 1962, which raises the question about whether the caseback is right. There's nothing definitive that I can point to to say that it's not a 1962 - it's just unusual to see a black on black, rice bezel, WOG movement from 1962 - but it is possible. Price is going to head considerably further north on this one because it's a nice example. |

Mario, you should start spending your money on the actual watches instead of the PR material around them...

I have been. I have the white dial SA on now. Have the LE SA on the way, and have ordered the black dial SA which is back-ordered. So yeah... 3 in 1 month (all since July 25th).
