In Response To: Re: Tropical Heuer ()

I am stuck with only an iPad camera and artificial light, so forgive the pretty bad picture. This is my Stowa chrono from the late 60s/early 70s with a JRGK cal. 12 type movement. The blue paint is breaking down to show the brass dial below in a wonderful speckled manner. Strangely when it catches the light in a certain way it goes black, so there is great contrast of colors across the dial.
