    Lovely watch Aldo. Eterna made great watches, then, and now. That is a very handsome one-I like the strap.

    Sincerely,

    Pottinger :)

    Thank you gentlemen !
    I woke up early this morning, in the dark radium had a weak afterglow but still works after at least fifty years.

    Cheers, Aldo. :wink:

    PS : about rarity, I agree with Eddie, not the rarest but very less common than others.

    Case dia. is 35 mm.

    Great looking watch. I have been in love with the Eternas since I was given one a s a kid. I finally caved in recently and bought a Kontiki. The gold numerals was not quite to my taste and I will have to exchange it for another, but that is another story.

    I wouldn't know :D

    I happened to stumble across it when browsing yesterday after reading the post and couldn't resist the smart-assness. I don't know the slightest thing about the wwwatches.

    BTW Aldo, the watch is cool and I like it, congrats :)

    Cheers

    I have been lucky, the watch is in near mint conditions, just some very very light scratches that gives to the watch a nice wabi appearance.
    Then it has its original stepped glass while a lot of them have nowadays a generic one.
    The dial and hands have not been relumed, it is like a quite NOS Record i bought time ago, the lume seems to have catched a part of dial black paint.
    About movement, it 's very smooth when winding , like a Bulova A17 .

    An interesting watch to be collected.

    Thank again, Aldo. :wink:
