Incoming: 3458 Bubbleback!

Quite excited to receive this in the next few days from NZ -+- 1938 (45 xxx serial number) 2nd generation black gilt dial - all original (even the "Oyster Patent" crown and looks great!

I believe these are reasonably difficult to come by - paid about USD1400 which I think was more than fair.

Super! I was not really familiar with that early reference. Looks like a 3372 but with subseconds. Great dial.

Good price. Hands are relume obviously.

Bezel is excellent for the age.

Rare reference. All looks to be as it should.
