Blue, no date, charming! It doesn’t get much better than this. Do you happen to know this case size?

Keep enjoying and loving it so much!! Best cordial regards, Abel

Thanks for posting. This really has the magic. I wonder what it sold for new. Irrelevant, I know, but it's interesting how certain watches (cars, or other things) capture our imaginations and have lasting value.

Just for fun, I looked up the price of the world's most expensive car (a Ferrari 250 GTO) when it sold new in 1963 -- $18,000, which was a lot and Enzo had to approve the sale. I think only 36 were produced and one recently sold for $70 million.

I'm trying to remember how I spent $450 in the 1970s, but I'm sure this would have been a wiser choice.

By the other hand, a good friend of mine paid less than 250 dollars the following year 1967 in Tiffany & Co. New York for his Daytona. It had a standard "panda" dial signed with the store name. To have an idea of what dollars could buy in those far ye...

Just take a little back pack with you. We don´t have too much space here! Lol! Abrazos amigo!! ...  

From the "Time Machine" movie of 1960 with Rod Taylor, based on the G.H. Wells novel. I wish we could ride it ! Abrazos, Abel ...  

Would love to add one someday. Until then… ...
