What is it with the French guys?

Don't make me start writing in the beautiful langue de Molière!

Congratulations on that Tudor Stavrodos, it is magnifique indeed!

Thank you very much guys, I'm really impressed with the beauty of this watch and it makes perfect sense that Rolex has adopted the design of the dial and hands of this model in its new Pelagos model.

The matt blue dial and bezel vary in their appearance depending upon the lighting conditions.

I will have the opportunity to take some more photographs tomorrow and I'll post them up to show some more aspects of this vintage timepiece.

Thanks Stan

Here is another photo

Reverse angle, notice the clasp does not have a double fliplock but the Rolex coronet is in good bold condition.
