Absolutely love it
Your 96 is just perfect. Much more cool than a mint 96 NOS with no character.
I also like your Dauphine hands - much prefer it than leaf hands (although the hands look like replacement or service hands).
The double signature is cool too but what I really love is the most is the engraving on the back.
I would buy this watch just for the engraving. What a great story.
Congratulations on a killer watch - Edmond
My first step into vintage category :)
I've been swinging between the CPCP monopoussoir and the ref. 96 for the past few months. Then finally this came into my sight, a double labeled 96 retailed by Shreve, Crump & Low. It is a rather normal piece, the dial has been slightly cleaned: since the...
Vin, congratulations. The Ref 96 is certainly for connoisseurs.
Its 31 mm case is not everybody's taste and it is perfect. The Connoisseurs will enjoy it. It is a watch which is really charming, and its size contributes to that. I fell on several, and each time, it was with great pleasure. Here some specimens. ...
Ah the stainless steel with patina is always the grail...
Hope to see one in flesh one day. Best, Vin
Super Catch
Congratulation. Ref 96 is always pleasure to wear and small size is not a problem at all Enjoy it with a good health
Superb
This is an example of pure passion. A unique watch, with an odd dial, and a journey back in time on its engraved back. What might have been the story? Where are these people now? A refreshing alternative to all the me-too 5711s and frying-pan-sized curren...
True
Especially as normally people worry about engravings damaging the resale value of a watch. This one was bought out of passion, not to make a profit.
Congrats Vin on getting a vintage 96 with a ...
meaningful message engraved on the back! Your watch looks great on your wrist and fits in well with the dim sum dishes, both very tasty ! Cheers, Gordon
You have a rare beauty
with extra personality. I bet the present-day owners of SCL would love to see this.

Thank you! NOS is not for me anyways because I wear all my watches
and is there any special technique to tell the originality of the hands?
The are Patek's without the accent on the "e"...
Great watch, with great engraving. Love the double signed dial, which I don't think was ever touched. Not all dials have the accented "e", as evidenced by this 1944 Patek with original dial: ...
I am a collector of double signed Rare vintage...
And I can say that Shreve Crump & Lowe is one of my favorite. I have only seen one other SC&L, which is a ref 431 (PM me for details). I would of bought it but dial is refinished... Anyway, you did very well - the ref 96 may be polarizing but if y...
