A watch that I was not aware of until I joined WatchPurists! Nicolas and subexplorer have written and posted many photos on the many variants of this watch - Thank you!
I took this 36mm beauty out from the safe recently and here are some fresh photos.
The red chapter ring goes really well with the elegance tear drop lugs, IMHO.
Have a great week !
