Just got this very last snowflake form a friend of mine 9xx,xxx Serial
very sexy patina indeed,and got correct ETA-2776.
He don't know must about watch, I think the hands must be re-lume (but not grow) also one thing that I notice is the insert, I never see the marker on the insert reach number "20" never see an after market has this too, any though about this will be appreciated !

Congratulations!

Really nice.

I've never seen an inset like that either- genuine or otherwise. It appears to have some honest age on it, so it might be worth checking with Rolex in Geneva on that.

Keep us posted!

Interesting piece - looks relumed on hands but honest and old piece.

I have never seen an original insert look like that before

enjoy your new catch...

Tosaphon · 24 November 2015, 12:30 AM

Thanks everyone,this insert is a mist to me too haha, will collect more info and update soon !

Very nice, congrats! Looks great on NATO!!

linesiders · 24 November 2015, 02:45 AM

To be clear - I do not think the insert is authentic. Pics of the reverse side would be helpful but unless there is some super obscure insert hardly anyone knows about - aftermarket...

Very nice congrats

Will take the pictures of the back insert first thing in morning

Tosaphon · 24 November 2015, 11:47 AM

Here is the insert, is not a plastic, some kind of light metal and another thing is the insert clip on the front not the back !

Stunning watch.....

linesiders · 25 November 2015, 02:55 AM

Not only is the insert aftermarket (was 99.992 % sure) it is the first sub insert I have seen with a fake pearl hole

Tosaphon - no worries about the fake insert - rest of the watch looks OK

I'm not sure that all the Bazel and Insert are the same size ?

linesiders · 25 November 2015, 11:09 PM

If the bezel is original, a proper insert should fit
