i believe it is the earliest batch of 5510, circa l 1958, serial 36xxxx, both serial and model numbers clearly in between the lugs, case back also correct date stamp.
the watch is belived never been to service, never polish as evidence by its noticable bevel lines of the 4 lugs, and take a look at the aryclic, i do not know the owner can stand that..lol.
the insert has turned to the faded darker blue, the alloy bezel is turning freely bi-direction, the same goes to the big brevet crown, pull and set time with no problem. it still retained the important gilt hands set with big bubble seconds, though the lum on the hands are long gone, i think the lum drop to the dial surface, and hence making the dial a "galaxy" version, nonetheless the dial is very original, and i think it is very important to the purist.
the case back has a few teeth has some flaws due to the improper tools forcing the case back to open by the idiot, the movement is one of the earliest 1530, still going strong and keeping time. |
