SOLD OUT!!
What we are introducing this time is a mirror dial that was available on models manufactured up until around 1967.
The mirror dial has a beautiful mirror-like shine that is very appealing.
This is a rare dial that is extremely rare even among vintage models.
I have the impression that the number of mirror dials in good condition has decreased dramatically recently.
The item we have in stock this time is in excellent dial condition and highly recommended!
This particular dial is one of the earliest mirror dials.
A track-shaped minute circle is printed along the outer edge of the dial.
They are called "chapter ring," "circle mirror," and "MM dial."
This is a mirror dial made up until around 1963.
There are many individual differences in the gloss of mirror dials.
Furthermore, when it comes to MM dials, the glossiness is inevitably lost,
I get the impression that many of them have noticeable scratches and deterioration,
This particular watch has a very beautiful mirror dial.
This dial is commonly known as the "6-dot" It is said that
This is a rare dial that features a circular luminous element on the minute circle at 6 o'clock.
When you look at the luminous points together with the bar indexes,
It is also called the exclamation dial because it resembles an exclamation mark.
It is said that this dial was one of the early adopters of tritium, and has a reduced radium content and uses tritium in addition to the original.
When viewed through a magnifying glass, there is a slight loss of luminous material on the 6 o'clock index,
It's only noticeable when you look closely, so the atmosphere hasn't been affected.
The hour and minute hands were replaced with tritium hands later on.
The color of the index and the luminous material match.
The condition is age appropriate, with some small scratches,
This is in pretty good condition for a model manufactured around 1961!
The case is in good condition and has no excessive finishing!
This rivet bracelet is a must-have for a mirror dial!
The buckle is a crown belly buckle!
It has a certain charm!! The clasp is from the second series of 62 years old!
The bracelet has some wear appropriate for its age, but is relatively sturdy.
Wrist shot!!
The jet black mirror with gold lettering is an incredibly cool piece!!
