9. Does it have an external bezel?
Your question stumbled me a bit. Had to check my pics. No external bezel. At least not movable if there is one.

Yes the Fernseher. But with a twist!

I wonder if @Time Exposure would be into that...
Huge respect for the scarcity, and heck yeah I would love one. But the hunt? And the ammo? $o much...
So I'll be happy with a common ol' blue dial, thank you.
Incredible find. Congratulations!

Thanks for your kind comments guys.
This is one chunky watch and feels really substantial on the wrist. And I really love the name @LouS has bestowed on it. The Mourning Primero is rather romantic despite its chunky and clumsy look.

It wasn't me. The whole Mourning hypothesis was proposed by John Chris, now long absent from these boards.

Right. I saw those threads and was entranced by it I remembered.

I wasn't aware of the "mourning" theory but my friend Google led me to the thread from John Chris on WUS. I like it!

Anyway, I never noticed the box around the date window, which isn't present on the blue version. Very nice touch due to the angle.

Geez, looks like a monster on your wrist, Gavin :D

Had one, but sold it because it was to bulky for me. I want the A386!!! If I get one, I can go to rest thereafter :D

Congratulations @Gavin !
Is your ref number consistent with John Chris observation?
Nicolas
Yes it is consistent with John Chris and Roessler.
