Uncommon reverse Panda dial in excellent condition which presents itself as anything from black through silver to grey depending on the light - the array of tones illustrated in the images are testament to this true chameleon - small almost imperceivable mark to the dial just to the right of "Omega" - only visible from certain angles and lighting conditions - please refer to images

Lume plots and hands aged evenly to an attractive warm cream, some ageing to the white hands itself (the minute hand displays evidence of ageing, potentially a small touch up to the paint; the sub dials appear clean and free of marks

Original lume to the hands and dial plots, consistent with age, the hands appear ever so slightly lighter in tone which is expected and normal

Case displays some wear from age, but does not appear to have been polished or messed around with - overall it remains sharp

The watch comes directly from the Grandson of the Original owner, has since undergone a complete service by our trusted watchmaker (June '23) and is in excellent running order

I recently had the pleasure of buying a watch from Robin, a vintage watch dealer who truly stands out amongst the crowd. His exceptional communication and genuine passion for watches made the entire experience delightful from start to finish. Robin is not only incredibly knowledgeable but also a wonderful person to chat with, and was very much willing to go the extra mile at all times. I highly recommend him to anyone looking for a trustworthy and enjoyable watch-buying experience - I'll certainly be back again in the future...!

I had a great experience buying a watch from Robin @ Mann about time.
Robin really facilitated my purchase journey, and created a climate of trust with his great knowledge of watches, in particular Rolex and Guilt GMT, but also with his high level of professionalism.
I would buy another watch from him with confidence.

Robin Mann … how to make this brief: First, an experienced and discriminating curator with a superb eye for quality, condition, character, artfulness and fine detail. Next, an absolute pleasure to communicate with. Then, presentation, packaging, and professionalism makes his entire exchange process simply … perfect.
Robin has created the standard for the vintage watch experience ….. cannot wait for the next one. Oh, and last, but not least … a really nice guy.
Thank you, Robin.

Ive known Robin for many years now , from when he was an art dealer, and when he told me that he’s started selling vintage watches, I knew I was in biiiiiiiig trouble. A vintage watch dealer that you can trust could only mean 1 thing: my bank balance would start dwindling and I was about to embark on an exhilarating ride collecting some of the most iconic vintage timepieces- His taste for chronographs is impeccable , his eye for discovering authentic pieces is truly astouding and his prices are more than fair : Within 2 years Robin’s managed to source 3 grail watches for me; a vintage sub, Pepsi gmt, and a 1016 explorer. He’s the best vintage watch dealer in the game and I cant recommend him highly enough!
