Hi, Thanks for the job. Is it a light effect or is the dial of the first gen "brushed" finished in grey while the dial of the second gen is white without this kind of "texture"? It seems that sliderule are similar right? Very nice pictures. |

yes, the gen. 1 dial appears brushed, gen. 2 is smooth, totally different textures. sliderules are the same. |

Two fabulous watches Fred. What size are those - 36mm or so? Love the strap on the gen 1. Fantastic photos. |

thanks, Tim. 37mm+, actually wearing very large due to the thin bezel and relatively huge dial, very nice dressy watches even today. strap on the gen. 1 is a Breitling Italy OEM croc, not produced anymore, but really nice. |
