I rarely post in this forum but today I’ve got something pretty special.
I’ve met a collector friend for a quick lunch today and we decided to trade off a watch. I’ve got this pretty 6238 from 1963. It has got a lovely and super rare dial with a hue of blue and underline and without the „anti-magnetic“ line. Very clear and coo...

First of all, biggest thanks to all of you for your kind words.
To answer some questions, here are some more information and thoughts on the watch. I have made the trade with a very good collector friend of mine. He has got my beloved Tudor Submariner 7928 which is one the very few pieces with square crown guards. So ...
