New to me 34mm OP Date

Hi Guys and Girls

I rarely post, but just wanted to share a couple of shots of my newest purchase - a 34mm OP Date:

(Excuse the lousy photography!!)







I'm really liking the 34mm size of this watch. :)

And thanks again to Jacek and Scott at HQ Milton for their excellent service - great guys.

Cheers, and have a good day all.

Looks really nice! What do you know about its history? It looks like a luminova dial and a sapphire crystal, but with an old style date wheel. Or is the crystal actually perspex, but just so new I am mistaking it for sapphire in your photos?

Thanks!!

Yup, service dial and hands, what I assume is the original date wheel, and plexi (I just polywatched the heck out of it!). :)
