The 1655 is a tough one. It was made for a number of years, but straight seconds hand, frogs foot, etc.... makes it tough. Same with gilt dials, how many are left in nice condition?

It's all part of what makes collecting and discovery so much fun.

Little bit... but you're right... that's half the fun!!
