with an original black, pie-pan dial; arrowhead markers; AND a date function. I don't recall seeing one in my twenty or so years of collecting (until last week:) ).

. . . but the last requirement is tough. Here's an even tougher row to hoe: original black pie pan dial (not to mention strap and buckle!), white gold arrowhead markers, and . . . . . . lume! Yes, both hands and markers have their originally applied lume ...  

Do you happen to know what reference that is?

. . . a ref 2852, 1957 vintage.

14393. Looks like a dome dial, but I can confirm it's a pie-pan. ...  

Bought it off of ebay a while ago. It needs a new crown and a service though.

Can't remember the source, but I saved this pic a while ago. ...  

Hi Kyle How are you ? any 504 is cool and a pie pan in black !!! very cool..... Personally I prefer white / silver dial watches in most cases.... The few black dial connies I had I sold off as Icould not read them !!!! Good Hunting Bill Sohne

I'm doing well. :-) Ref. 14393, so it should have a Cal. 561 if I remember correctly.

I would prefer the NON-date model - it looks so much more balanced. The white date disk is "destroying" the appearance of the dial IMHO... just my thoughts Erich

the rarity of such a watch. And it is looking to me as if they are pretty rare. More to follow.....
