Hello All,

Stumbled upon this little Super Precision from c. 1960. Excuse the quality of images, but what are you thoughts?

Does it look original? Are they a collector's piece?

All comments welcome, thanks guys.

Not the best pics, but I think this dial could be correct.

Do not equate it to a 1016, for their markets are quite different.

that's the second one I've seen today...

The tritium designation added after the fact to what would have been a radium dial...weird.

looks like a sweet little watch! A lot of people avoid the Explorer 5500 because there a so many redials out there. Source an old AK, pick up a 5500 redail and bingo a handsome looking sports watch. This is is good link with a lot of info
