Horological Meandering

This si one of the rarest eternas that I have, maybe a 1930-40 watch with an amazing salmon color dial, original. It's funny to read the back case because it says things like: " impermeable" "water proof" "staybrite steel" and "amortiseur de chocs" Unfort...  

Me too!

That one is top top top... I like everything in case, the lugs, the dial, of course. Not sure about the hands, though, but hey, you have a superb watch. Really superb. Best, Nicolas

Thanks Nico, yes it is a superb watch. Actually is incredible how good the dial and hands look. I forget to say that the crown is also original and great! Thanks to you guys to let me share my eternas collection. Best regards!

You do not fail to surprise and amaze Are they generally popular in your area or are you a single handed ambassador?

I think I\'m a single ambassador of Eterna because here are not very common. I\'ve to tell you that I\'m an Eterna hunter and I buy them where I can find them. Best regards

That salmon dial is to die for! Cheers, Alejandro

Your Eterna vintage collection it\'s just amazing. Thanks a lot for sharing it. It\'s curious but true, your watch in the second image it\'s just great, I have the same model. It\'s funny don you thing? Because it\'s also a very rare timepiece. I\'ll post... 

Thank you, Alex. I appreciate your kind words, and perhaps I will post more of them sometime. I look forward to seeing more of yours as well. Regards, Tony C. ...  

Great Tony, just great! It will be a pleasure to see your Eterna collection!

Thanks Nico! There are more hiding somewhere...

Never mind if the dial is original or not. The result is very appealing. It\'s amazing that the diameter is "just" 34mm. It looks larger on your wrist and above all very harmonious. All the best, Thomas

I fully agree that the owner should enjoy the watch. At the same time, however, misrepresentations can mislead less experienced (or sophisticated) collectors, and for that reason alone I believe that it is useful, if not important to point them out. Regar... 

Best regards, Thomas

for you too, Thomas. I agree it\'s a beautiful watch I love it. But one always are trying to find a complete and original pieces. Thanks a lot.
