Hey jlee - This is really nice. What's the year?

This one is from 1969. It's the one that got me hooked on this hobby. Took me too much patience to find one in this condition. Only vintage one left from countless others that have passed on from my box.

I wouldn't be surprised if he had all of the first issue caliber 11's from '69. And probably both color dials. :lingsrock:

I totally agree.
Fred is most likely occupied by UEFA Champions final. What a game it was. :shock:

yes, was watching the game, not too happy with the outcome, hope UK members will
forgive me; not a fan of Bayern, but dislike catenaccio.

not surprisingly I like the Chrono-Matics of 69, though have only one color per model :oops:

very creative, innovative, quite outstanding, some quick pics for you, Sal:

Thanks Fred :lol:
These are all beauties. I can't decide which one is my favorite. I love all of them.
By the way, I'm in agreement with you on the 'catenaccio' style of soccer. It is definitely not entertaining. Although, I really thought Bayern will win it considering the home advantage and the way they've been playing recently.
