Happy birthday for then..... I've got a '65 Gilt dial GMT, it's a year older than me
Looked for a '66 birth year but fell in love with the small 24hr hand and Gilt dial
Great choice

Less is ALWAYS more. This surely is my favorite because it is a heirloom and in just PERFECT condition


About the patina that developed on the dial shown in the 2nd picture would you consider that to be "tropical"?

Very nice Clay and all! I truly don't have one favorite but many. The one thing I will say is the one on my wrist is always my favorite at that time.

Such a tough question, because moods change, of course. However, this is my current favorite, newly acquired 5-mil DRSD. Had to liquidate three pieces to get it, but so it goes.
