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

For sure this one would comply with Kurt's standards ! Congrats René :bow: . I should be ok to swap it against my bakelite Datora box, only to be fair with you :P

Beautiful indeed, but unfortunately the hands are wrong.

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 . . . . . . .
