Hi guys, Thought to share my latest acquisition - a NOS (well, apart from the fact that the seller changed the battery and managed to slightly scratch the caseback...) 7546-606A, Silverwave Z diver, from September 1978:    |

Beautiful . Real bummer about the case back though. Yeah, I wasn't very happy about that .. but fortunately it is not that bad, and at least I didn't make them myself!  |

Looks like the case back sticker is still there. Correct, that's not the scratch, fortunately! There are a couple smaller ones that you can't see in the photo, so not really a big deal. |

That looks great. A pity about the scratch on the back, but it could be worse - it could be on the bezel.

Very nice! What's the WR on these? Does the "lume" still glow?

Ah, I'm not very well versed with the 7546's yet, I thought it would've been the second one on the top row here:  Although it does look like a black dial in the catalogue, and the one in the photo is perhaps more charcoal? |

No that's it eeki I think but if you look at the edge of the bezel there us a uniform wave to the one you are looking at and the one on Jonas' is for a different model.
Need to finish cooking then I can sit and check or Jonas knows. I think the dials are the same, though.

Ahh ok so Yeh the two in the middle top row, the one on the left has now the one on the right's rotating ring. I don't know much about the silverwave ones only the sports 100, and even then not a lot of detail...can you tell? |
