6240 No Oyster on Dial
Hello all,
I am new to this forum, and found it while doing research on a 6240. In your forum I noticed a comment that the 6240 without the word "OYSTER" on the dial was a very rare and possibly "none-existent" (though one was pictured in the thread) animal. I just wanted to offer a "second sighting" of such a model. I haven't found another with the jubilee style bracelet, however. Sorry for the doubled up images - I couldn't figure out how to delete the duplicates. Enjoy! Martin
