662 dial adds a gr8 character to the watch...of course the case too but dial is what wins... Thanks for sharing. Best, mahesh.,

The color play with the light , it' s a pleasure !! Just a photo ... ...

I personally believe the 662 is good exactly as is it. I don’t think with the bigger hands of the 127 or 232 would better fit to it. Just a few of the vintage watches had these bigger dials. And i am pretty sure, that the sharper hands from the 587 would ...
