Cool INCOMING

So this creamy 16550 arrived and I can’t help but share. First vintage and definitely not the last. Was always on the fence about vintage but wow, so much character in the oldies!

Looks great and congrats!! I just added a "Swiss" only 16570 Polar to my collection and really like it. Not creamy like yours, but a nice 5 digit nonetheless. :)

That is a stunning example of a 16550. The dial having a slightly darker patina than the lume looks amazing. And the bezel looks like it just came from the factory! Congrats.

Does anybody know why some dials went cream and some stayed white from the same manufacture years? There’s quite a lot of variety with the 16550s.
