Appears to be a rail dial 1665 in great condition. Care to share with us the story of how you came to own it?
And could you post a "right side up" pic of that good looking watch?

Haha, sorry this was my first time posting pictures, I didn't realize that they would post upside down, nor did I realize that it would contain all of the peripheral phone information. Sorry about that. I will do my best to post a better picture! I am in the process of purchasing it from one of the sellers on the forum. I will post my own pictures once I acquire it, hopefully early next week.

Hopefully this one is right side up and does not contain all of that peripheral phone information.

My favorite vintage too, at least from the ones I can afford. Ben is a serious guy. I've dealt with him a few times face to face in HKG. He knows his stuff and does not touch things he should not, which is less and less the case among HKG dealer.

Now that's a great example to start your vintage journey. Absolutely Stunning. With the pearl matching I would of thought the insert would be a fat font?

This looks incredible. I'm a little intrigued at the fact we can all instantly recognize Ben's pieces.

Me too - how do all his pieces turn out the same? Or is it all he selects? I have never worked with him but clearly many here have.
Nice piece

Hey guys, my "new to me" rail dial is finally here! I am in love!! Everything about this watch makes me smile, from the patina on the hands, to the amazing warm plexi dome, to the little details like the longer minute hash marks on this particular dial variation.
Ben (nbTimes) was a class act to do business with, and was very patient when my bank made a mistake during the transfer. I would not hesitate to do business with him again, and would recommend him to anybody who is looking for a quality vintage piece. Here are some pics I just snapped, please excuse the quality, all I have is my iPhone.     And here it is with my only other... a subLV that was sporting a black bezel. I will promptly be changing it back to green!  Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I wasn't sure if it was fat font from Ben's pictures either, but he assured me that it was. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
