To tell the truth, a silver dial in very nice condition would make my day, but the blue would be a delicious cherry.

The case is typical from the 70ies, somewhere between the square and the round, the dial is sober, but with some presence, and even the date doesn't bother that much on that one.

As for the movement, well, it is a Chronometer!

Here are the two pictures I took from Blomman's one.

Yes, I've got Blommanized.

I must say that you impressed me a lot...

You built such a nice collection in a flash! Best, my friend. Nicolas

Thank you! That means a lot coming from you, my friend! :)

A couple of things that helped me a lot - A) I have been "scouting" the brand for a long time before I started to actually build my collection. B) Information from the Manufacture. It would have taken me forever to get where I am now (still a long way to go)! Best Blomman

Always a long way to go, but your way is much shorter than mine. ;) [nt]
