2913 / 7 and / 3, all together.

They came from the same source they are the property of two good friends, and they were serviced by the same watchmaker.

These two have some strong links!

Here, now...


And before...

 

Certainly one of the nicest reference, when it comes to vintage diving watches, don't you think?

Best,

Magnificent.

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

Well observed, Darren. From one ref to another, there are some subtle changes.

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
