Hi Nicolas,

Thank you for your kind comments. The 5512 is not totally original in parts. Its a 1962 PCG but it had a dial and hand swap somewhere in time ( 1965? ). The tritium dial is a 4 liner dual tone gilt with a pleasant patina in my opinion. I would have been very pleased if it had an original chapter ring gilt dial but nonetheless I love the color it  has at the moment. The 5513 is also not totally original unfortunately. Having a serial of about 1.5 million, it should have had a gilt dial with perhaps a Bart Simpson coronet? Would try to restore it to the correct configuration but that takes serious money these days. Lol. Thanks again for the warm welcome on my first picture post.

Regards,

Chong
