missed this one, so sadly it isn't mine; but what a beautiful piece, though I'd document it here.

another example that shows a late post-1953 "Geneve" dial and hands in a mid/late-1940s case, must admit I have actually never seen a ref. 769 SS case that was produced in the 1950s, maybe Paul or others remember an example; the production quantities for these cases were apparently very optimistic.

breathtaking condition. :bow:

I saw that just after it was posted and didn't give it but a quick look after seeing the signed crown and 1947 date. I still thought it a good buy. I should have looked a little closer at this one. :roll:
