very nice clay

compare the 1665 to the 116660 and you can see how badly the latter has been balls'd up

"original gas escape valve"
"ring lock system"

dial is a mess.

the 1665 is an all time classic

So nice...! Did you ever determine if leaving it in the safe for a month changed the color of the plots and hands?
