Been some time since I posted (have been distracted by some vintage GP's & UN), but wanted to show you my new (to me) World Time, and as a companion to the now well traveled GMT (Europe, Dubai, Maroc, India). All the best VZ'ers!
VERY nice specimen. Hard to find a bezel in that condition.
Thanks Butch! Yes, the dial & bezel are near NOS - no brassing at all on bezel edges :-)
Cheers, G.
Definitely a great find with that bezel condition. For whatever reason the bezels on many of the world times not only get worn (brassed), but have a tendency for the plated portions to heavily corrode green. The plating that they used on the bezels for that particular model must have had an issue when originally plated to cause this. Of the 10-15 of those I have had in over the years, only a couple did not have that problem.
