    And now for something completely different..............

    Cal. 89 circa 1954 (this watch and I were born in the same year!):

    Most Cal. 89's were made with an embossed dial. This one is somewhat special in that it has applied markers:

    All the photos started looking like Black and White photos, so I just wanted to add a little color, LOL!!!

    Another cool feature is the beautiful sunburst pattern on the dial!!!!!!!!!!!

    Being used to bigger and heavier watches, it sometimes felt like I wasn't wearing anything on my wrist!

    Thanks for looking.

    That is a great looking watch, even if it is a bit smaller and lighter than we are now used to.

    Congratulations Nad, another beautiful watch, this time a fantastic classic and looks like it is in absolute mint condition. Despite the size and weight issue it looks really good on your wrist.

    Cheers!

    Another great piece Nad. Sometimes it's nice to wear something smaller. In my case, it's the Spitfire UTC at 39 mm.

    Keep the beautiful pictures coming!

    Kind regards,

    Clemens
