... itβs a superb beauty!! Love it!! Gracias por compartir mi amigo Nicolas!! Abel
I met the owner of a beautiful one last year but he was addamant to sell it!! It was the first and only one I found here in my hunting grounds with the creamy patina on dial. This one is one of the missings in my collection but I{ m confident Lady Luck will help some day again! Enjoy yours so much my dear friend! Abel
both of them. Such charming watches.
Was the original dial cream or has it changed to this color over the years?
