Yes, a good one...

Beautiful—and, why is it called the “cover girl” reference?

By: orahu : June 23rd, 2024-11:45

Because of the way the second indices are shaped. Don't ask my why, I still fail to understand why.... ;)

Interesting!

It's because it was on the cover of Manfred Rossler's book Zenith Swiss Watch Manufacturer.

Thank you! Do you have a photo?

By: amanico : June 23rd, 2024-12:42

Plus One!

I don't have the book, but I've flipped through it in the local library.

This is off the Internet: ...

Ok for cover, but why " girl "?

By: amanico : June 24th, 2024-06:28

It's a common English phrase.

By: Ruffian : June 26th, 2024-05:56

Like Claudia Schiffer was the cover girl for many magazines back in the day. It may be Zendaya now, for all I know!

Ha! Now I see. :))))

Uber cool 😎. It looks in unworn condition. The patina on the hour indices is perfect!

By: hmd4m : June 24th, 2024-01:35

Unworn I don't know, but good enough for me. :)

By: amanico : June 24th, 2024-06:38

You are right. Not unworn but still awesome!

By: hmd4m : June 25th, 2024-03:22

Yes, I love when they come like this.... ;)
