The beginning of a rainbow of E855

May 09, 2014,06:00 AM
 

I finally managed to take some pictures of two twin sisters, in the 855 family: the brown scale and the blue scale, nicknamed "mahogany" and "lapis". 



Two VERY attractive models, whose dials immediately catch the eye.


They complement each other very well, and it'd be hard to award the first price in a beauty contest between these very similar and highly different watches


As we know, the 855 family (dynasty??) is a very large one, and who knows how many dial / case / hands variations have existed ? I'm sure some of you do know the figure, but I don't.

Here with some earlier models from the same 855 line. 



Anyone ready / willing to get rid of a 855 in pink gold case or with "12" on the dial, to help me covering the dynatsy ? ;-)

I envy you a lot on the blue scale. A Watch I was about to get, but which I missed for some unexpected circumstances... What a collection you have! As for the E 855 " 12 ", you mean something like that, but in gold? Hmmmm? ;) Thanks for this superb post, ...  

Number 12...

Thanks for your words Nicolas. My collection is far from being as rich as yours, and this "12" is still missing. Made the mistake to wait 24 hours, some years ago, and a gorgeous 855 pink gold model with "12" marker had disappeared... As far as DSA US, ye... 

Blue Scale is mindblowing, esp on the GF bracelet!

So, I googled the blue dial piece. Boy, there are some good previous pix on this watch, but nothing compared to your duet and quintet! That blue is just mesmerizing, to this old guy who loves blue watches! Thanks again for enlightening me about a fantasti...
