Some think that a vintage dial is rusty, that it is all about corrosion Others find some beauty to that. I belong to this last category, and feel the beauty of time, on these dials, a witness of their life, of the time passing... Should I add that this lo...  

And if you decide to add to your collection, will you get rid of the rust? Best regards, Baxter

Do I get rid of it? Now way! Best, my friend. Nicolas

Mechanically, as it was the first JLC Automatic movement. Aesthetically, because it doesn't need to be much better than that. And as an Extra Bonus, these oldies have so much ...Soul! Best, Nicolas

Rust never sleeps.

and only achievable through years of use and love....like a good friendship Will you get the movement serviced and the case and face left untouched..? Yours, Andy.

But if I had to service the watch, I will let its dial and case like this... I never touch to a dial, and most of the time I let the case as it is. Best, my friend. Nicolas

... it is not very common to see rusty dial... but this one has very beautiful match overall.... stefan

Excellent find Nico. The first JLC auto calibre? This is a must for you; so glad it ended up in your hands!

And I had it with me during our IGOTT II! Best, my friend. Nicolas.

That's a very nice piece Nico and the bronze dial is beautiful! A very refined piece! If I dare to ask, what's the size as there is no wristshot, just to imagine how it looks on the wrist. Matt

But no problem once on the wrist. Best, Nicolas...

Beautiful patina, my friend! Best Blomman

Some brands try to reproduce this aged look upon release, which I find a bit ridiculous, but this piece is charming and your photos show that well. First automatic calibre from JLC makes it doubly as enticing. Best,
