Here's my new-to-me 7169 that I posted separately. I hope to get the bracelet back after being properly sized for my wrists. Here it is on one of Jed's leather straps.

'Wow' is all I can say. About ten times the going rate for a grey dial?

Wow is right! Never seen one before.

My grail is actually the grey dial with a black Bakelite tachometer.
Which is hard enough to find (in mint condition that is).

But these are beautiful and a terrific piece with great movements.

You are kinda right that the good examples takes some work to find and it took months to hunt one for me

Not exactly home plate but still fits the bill ;-)
