··Mrs Nataf's Other SonEvery now and again a watch sticks in my head because of its visual appeal, even though it is not in the mainstream of my collecting interest - probably not an alien experience to anyone here. Usually I've seen the watch in person or in a pic on this forum, but in this case, it was in a period advert
Well, not long ago, the same popped up in a slightly different case
The dial is in exceptionally good shape with only a little schmutz of time in the lower right quadrant
The movement is unmarked, but well finished and clean. The case bears no Leonidas markings either (although properly hallmarked for 18K on casback and side), so there's a chance the piece may be a bit of a franken, as cases for cal 72C came from many manufacturers and suppliers
but when something is burned into your mind, what the heck, we're here to have fun.....(gotta get that date pointer painted blue, though)
