Amazing! Well done! It is encouraging to know that this vintage can be found in that condition.
Thanks for posting.

Well, it's fine with me if you don't think so, but that dosn't make them right.

My first thought when I saw the wrong hands and the incredible perfect numbers, was that they had been redone, but from the pictures I have seen so far, they look original to my eyes.

Sorry - sorry - sorry, I don't know what hit me, when I first looked at it I for some reason saw it as black / white, then I looked at your header and wondered why you called it "all black".
I guess I can blame it on being bloody tired, but still - I shouldn't make a mistake like that.

Incredible beautiful watch, no doubt about that . . . . . . .
