That's absolutely perfect how it is. Exactly! No fear - I have no intention of letting it anywhere near a Jubilee - one of the few things our Alaskan friend and I disagree on.

By-Tor Posted November 8, 2007 Author Report Share Posted November 8, 2007 "Perfect" you say? Perfect? You missed the big glaring flaw with the dial? Figures... you like GMTs on Oysters, your vision can't be THAT good. Never claimed to be an expert. What's the flaw, the gap between OYSTER and PERPETUAL?

docblackrock Posted November 8, 2007 Report Share Posted November 8, 2007 To be honest, I've just dug it up off my hard drive, not looked at it for a good long while but now you have me concerned... I know it's an earlier late '60s dial for the case, but the only thing that looks a bit strange is the tick marks under the 'swiss T<25'?

docblackrock Posted November 8, 2007 Report Share Posted November 8, 2007 Regardless I have a nice Tiffany dial just sitting waiting for it. But naturally, I want to know what the fly in the ointment is here Nanuq Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

docblackrock Posted November 8, 2007 Report Share Posted November 8, 2007 Pffff, what a crock. Can feel my hair growing mm's whilst I wait. Glaciers are moving. Tectonic plates are shifting. An asthmatic snail is making its way along the window ledge Anyway, back to your GMT (*diverting attention whilst I wait*)... You still left that gilt dial in the drawer? Tsk tsk.

tonyp1 Posted November 9, 2007 Report Share Posted November 9, 2007 (edited) Well can anyone tell me what in the heck version this piece of #^%! is? I ordered from a trusted dealer and got this...

Im not sure what it is but its not the watch I ordered. Take it up with your dealer maybe? Not knowing what you ordered of course, but apart from it being in a type of Sub case (huge CG space meant to be filled by a thick triplock not teeny twinlock crown), it doesn't look too bad.

docblackrock Posted November 9, 2007 Report Share Posted November 9, 2007 Hey Doc, Here's mine on original 1st generation jubilee Here's a much better pic of it - I can actually look at it now without flinching Mmmm, what date is it? Early enough or not, you've just gotta love that 'small' hand Nanuq should really get one (MY) for his, plus pop a gilt dial in there also.

docblackrock Posted November 9, 2007 Report Share Posted November 9, 2007 Talking of our Alaskan prankster, it seems he's 'fessed up that in fact there is NOTHING wrong with the dial on the 1675 I have dibs on Oh you jolly japer you and of course, no hard feelings...... (*furiously checking family tree and historical records to prove great-great-great-great-great-great-grandfather - Russian - still has colonial rights over Alaska and as a direct descendant can therefore legally lay claim to that DRSD and Bond Sub.....pffff, he can keep the GMT....mwahahaha*) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

docblackrock Posted November 9, 2007 Report Share Posted November 9, 2007 I went back and checked your family tree, and discovered a photo of your great-great-great-great-great-great-grandfather migrating to Alaska! It was tough but I did it. It looks like I'll be keeping the watches...
