And now for something completely different
My love for the marque drives me to look for the even the most eclectic examples. This watch fits the bill perfectly, and as a fellow collector described it yesterday, this piece is pure art. The watch in question is a rare find for sure, a super early (5.50) transitional 18049, produced while the plastic 18XX day-dates were still very much in production.
With all those brown watches floating around as of late, here's a little color for the weekend 
Superb stella

Too much brown? Or just not enough red!!
Yep....certainly a distinctive watch you have there!!! And nothing wrong with red dials in my book
