Beautiful.

Also it has such a lovely caliber with a big balance wheel with pins on it, maybe 2.5Hz? Should sound cool.

That reference is a hit or miss in terms of condition
By: VinnieD : November 20th, 2025-10:50
some rare ones are super crisp like the one you posted Nicolas, but many have been heavily worn

Agreed, alas, not an easy thing to find a good one.

A true classic. I wonder how this version evolved into the modern aesthetic. Perhaps they wanted to reinvigorate sales so they asked Genta to redesign?🤔

I lost the track with the moderns, I must confess.

Does the 666 differ from the 853 only in that it has a 'soft metal' (iron) inner case?

Yes, so why isn't that present in the larger photos above?

I have not enough knowledge to give you a serious answer. I can just add another ad...

Having now looked more carefully - Duh! - I realise the edge of the 'second case-back' IS visible in the original photo above.

They spent years incrementally ruining it from there on out

I have a manual predecessor of the 853, the 83. Mine was sold in Stockholm on 18 December 1945. I like to think it was a Christmas present, also bought to celebrate the end of WWII.

Please tell me you have a photo to share. The 83 is a superb reference.
