I have done some Christmas stupidness again...

I got an opportunity to buy a complete set from 1967. But now on the train I had an opportunity to look at my latest purchase a bit closer, I become kind of disappointed:

- Funny looking bracelet
- The indexes are turning brown
- Markings missing from the crown

Furthermore, in the dial the meters are before the feet.

Never mind, otherwise the watch is in good shape.











Oops. Upside down. But you got the point.

Merry Xmas to everybody!

Best, Kari

1967 corresponds to meter first and the smooth crown i.e. No dots underneath is also correct. The crown with dots is later. The bracelet looks like a 7206 with smooth round rivets. Post some pictures of the index color. Bill Ps the crystal and insert are ... 

Come on guys! Don't go all geeky on me

But Nico must be happy as the indexes have not turned brown. Merry Christmas Bill! Kari

I( have been thinking that if I would get rid of the whole bunch, it would also end the nightmares. Best, Kari
