Perhaps this is just proof I'm not a vintage guy, but dang that Top Time is beautiful.

Fred, do you know if the transoceans were originally brushed inside the lugs? I've seen a couple of pictures which look like they may have been.

Simply a quite exceptional piece, period. :!: Arguably the nicest example of the 806 on the planet. :bow: I would wind and wear that gorgeouw watch every single day if I owned it. Thank you so much Fred for sharing it with us in pics. :cheer:
Best,
Ron

It's not secret I'm not vintage fanatic, but those pics of those superb pieces may yet make me a believer! That Top Time is fantastic.
