The Great White and The White

I thought I would post a couple of pics of some of the watches that have made their way into my collection this year, the 1665 Great White and the 1680 White. I love the way they are both unique in their own way and iconic vintage watches. Tritium lume on a matte dial all wrapped up in stainless steel and a black bezel insert...whats not to love about vintage.

Two beauties John. Really love the "white," which maybe should really be called a "cream." I'm such a sucker for patina with a matte background!
