And silver is a very classy case material which, unfortunately, we rarely if ever see on modern watches.

And I'm sure the watch looks great on the wrist.

I think that silver is rare because it tarnishes, contrarily to steel, white gold or platinum... But I love this material, for example on my Shea ffer Nostalgia. Best, Emmanuel

I have been collecting these for years Ever since the tiger striped models were more expensive than a Paul Newman Daytona Can you imagine You have shown an exquisite model Beautiful brancard case.dial looks good and original although I learned the hard way , you can never tell from photos no matter how good or detailed they are. On further review it almost looks too good for a 80+ year old watch And movement is a top quality extra prima observatory quality This looks like a perfect model to star

This particular example is sold and I haven't seen enough of them yet. I'm too much of a beginner for now, but hopefully, someday ! I have seen the ones you have posted on IG and I couldn't like them more. Have a great weekend. Best, Emmanuel
