Hi all. Following Stefan Ma's story, I took an eBay tour today and checked to see if there is any good, genuine black dial left out there, unfortunately, I've found none of them is original. I mean the ones that look nice aren't and the ugly ones are. Bla...

i used to own a black dial connie years ago but no pics. i have a pic of a previously owned Ranchero, but i know your after connies and seamasters from the 50's. i dont expect there will be many pics coming forward due to their uncommonness. Graham

I was going to post one of mine

Then I saw the restriction - no black guilloche dials! Well, I only look for original black guilloche dials so I refrained from putting up pictures!

The black guilloche dials

are even more uncommon than the non-guilloche black ones. Yes, they may be better preserved but condition (as well as originality) are both very important to me.

Two more.

Yes, you are correct. The guilloche dials are much rarer than the normal ones and last much longer. That's why we will not see anyone who can come up with a normal black dial that equals to yours because they are the same in color but different in breed. ...

Hi Erich. The Seamasters with date at 6 are always my favourite. I have one with cracked crystal and a tattered look (trying to keep it that way). Sometimes I wear it with the feeling of a teenager in his old blue jean. We should start another thread abou...
