Nanuq Posted September 9, 2010 Report Share Posted September 9, 2010 All I can say is WOW! Now get that beauty off to our Canadian Maestro for a service and repaint those hands to match that magnificent dial. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kye_lin Posted September 9, 2010 Author Report Share Posted September 9, 2010 (edited) Thanks all... Looking for a vintage FF for awhile.. getting one with the bronzed case is a bonus.... Not gonna mess with the hands... Keep everything original.... Tritium dial and hands.... They look slightly differenet due to different binding resin used on the dial and hands.... They aged differently... Edited September 9, 2010 by kye_lin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lhooq Posted September 9, 2010 Report Share Posted September 9, 2010 Sheesh, that's beautiful! It's hard enough finding one that isn't a fake, but to find one in such wonderful condition... Don't touch a thing! However, I would look for a nice, vintage 20mm Tropic to go with it. NATO works, but I find that the shine of Maratacs often overpowers the watch.
