Incoming Snowflake!!

Hey guys!

Back again with another incoming.
Quiet overwhelmed with the overall condition of the case and dial on this 9411/0.
Have been wanting to add an example like this for some time, and took the chance when it came.

I must say, I could not be happier!

Hope you guys like the pics!
+ A family shot of my current vintage collection!

Have a nice day!

Beautiful condition. Interesting look, without the cyclops. Do you prefer it that way?

Thanks buddy!
I really do. Initially the top hat was quiet damaged. The seller did not want to change it because he believed it to actually be the original one.
I have kept it, but having the top hat with cyclops on my 1680, and after seeing a good friend's flake decyclopsed, I really preferred the clean look on it.
The overall look is more appealing to me, so I had it put in this config.
I do like it very much!

Very nice! Looks like an original dial too, not a service replacement. Most of the blues in good shape are replacements (or rotted).

A really special one there! Congrats!
