I must say that the Lollipop is a nice cherry on a delicious cake. Best, Amigo. Nicolas
One of the nicest vintage dive references in existence, and those are to striking examples. Interesting how the arrow moves from the hour hand on one to the minute hand on the other. Darren
The Lollipop is one of them. The Arrow hand is less subtle, but very pleasant. Which makes me think that I should hunt another sub ref than mine ( CK 2913-3 )... Best, Darren. Nicolas
... to see two of them together. And a wonderful restoration job mintaining the originality of them! Thank you for sharing them in your usual beautiful photos Nicolas! Un abrazo mi amigo! Abel.
