Then I would have to say Watch 1: 7548-700C Watch 2: Alpinist SSASS or Landtrek SSASS Watch 3: 6139-6002 Pogue Winner! The "catches the sun" hint for the "textured" dial was supposed to both be accurate (it changes color with the angles of the light) and a reference to its nickname as the "sunrise" model. Photos of all three for fun: 1:2:3: The SSASS is a Landtrek, obviously, and is #500/500. Hence that hint about it being the "last" one. I also don't know why the lume on the 7548 looks teal itself - I guess a trick of the light.
Thanks for indulging me, all! And Josh (I think you are Josh, anyway), if you pm me your address I'll send along the prize ASAP.

Well played Josh. I knew the 7548 off the bat but doubted myself based on the hints.
My Teal Pogue looks like box #2 color. Maybe I'm color blind
Thanks Brian for providing the contest !
:winner:

Maybe I'm color blind Thanks Brian for providing the contest ! :winner: I knew an SSASS had to be in any teal watch discussion. I knew the light green was either the 7548 diver or the H556 as I had seen a seller on Ebay with the full set of NOS ones that I had posted previously in a Past Auctions thread. But it was your 6139 that did it for me. The only vintage teal I could remember ever seeing was the 6139-7060 (wasn't there also a 701X chrono in the same color?)

I can guarantee there was never a teal 7016 as that is my latest fascination. Yeah I was 100% Box 1 was a 7548 teal diver right off the bat. Then I got confused with the color of the teal Pogue which is so odd because I dragged mine out to lay it next to my phone where the boxes were up on the screen. The SSASS is a watch that I never knew existed until now.
