Plated case

Glad you like, it’s a chrome plated case, so that’s the brass you see coming through. No gold on this one

2982B? Any picture of he case back? [nt]

159

I can take one, but it’s a 159 with base metal case, not an E159 since it doesn’t have the screw-in case back, just a snap in.

Ok. Yes, very under the radar watch, but what a charm! Here is mine, a bit special, though...

Yes

Indeed, that is quite a bit more special!

Still, both share an indisputable charm... [nt]

Thanks for preserving this piece of history! Must be an honor to wear this one!

It’s a great example

For being nearly 75 years old, it’s extremely clean inside.
