Fantastic radials...... By far my favourite 1675..........so much so, that after much searching, I finally managed to track down and acquire........albeit after a little arm twisting......a radial with a full set of B&P. Photos to follow......

Hank and Nate, now that you shamed me to get the Kodak out of storage, here are a couple pics of my 1977 radial wearing its 78360 (VC code) bracelet.

Thanks K.

Check out the 1675 radial in Hank's hand in the first photo - the one on the left. That watch was a lot more yellow when he bought it and it has changed to more of a creme color now. Compare it to the other photo that I posted on page 1 and you will see that same watch which had more of a yellow tone when that photo was taken a year or two earlier.

That makes perfect sense. Watches that have sat for a long time in a safe or sock drawer turn that yellow tone then when exposed to sunlight fades into more of a cream. This is one of my favorite features of Vintage watches.
