Hi Guys
A friend asked me to keep an eye out for a "nice" watch. Well i found one and I think I am in trouble.
What do you think ?.... 18k yellow gold , aged original dial , classic 267 manual wind movement... 
I am really smitten with this watch.. I think it such a classic...
Any thoughts?
Good Hunting

Hi G just joking ...i think it is a little eariler then 64. Dial cross hair looks ok from this other photo.. i think it might have been the angle. Also i took it photod in bad light,, if i can do it again in daylight i thid the dila would look 100% better...
many a true word spoken...
many a true word spoken in jest :) its weird how the angle of a pic can make it look like things are wrong. this new pic shows that the cross hairs are perfectly in line so i apologize wholeheartedly for my criticism. i'm itching this week as my connie sh...
