Glad you like it. I fell in love with Calypsomatics about 2 or 3 years ago. Fantastic vintage diver. They were made from approximately 1962/3 to 1978. Several reference numbers. Gilt relief dials, white print dials, matte dials, gloss dials, and I've even seen a silver-relief dial. They pop up on eBay and other forums about once a month. Cost has significantly risen since I started looking at them. They use to sell for $200-$400 all day long. Now they're sometimes exceeding $2k.

Mine dates to around the mid 60s.

@yllekp i like that leather nato combo alot!

I have tried it on a few and that brown vintage nato and the green strap RAF suit it best. I like it on Rivet but the rivet does not suit it as well as a nato. I need to find a vintage 2 piece leather strap for it. I had my last 6538 on one and it was really great.

I must say though, I'm a little "true gilt" envious.
