First AD

Anyone who’s lucked into one of these will likely be returning until they discover what besides the date is wrong with this example. My watch passed on the dial code so I stopped there and thanked my lucky stars

Managed to get the 0138-5020! I can confirm that it’s in immaculate condition and the strap is nothing short of amazing. So good I’m reluctant to wear it, but so will for sure. Delighted to own it.

Great second look catch on the AD First redial. No doubt saved some of us time, and one of us money

6185 8020 short hands

These are out there, usually in great condition and a huge temptation. But No! Not Without at least pics of the caseback and movement. At some point Gerald will publish/read us the news on these non 21, small print, silver dials. Until then, if I needed a short hands VFA, I’d go with 8021, 8000 or the large or no VFA print 8020
