Great first post and endorsement ;-) Your 6394 appears to be a real beauty, dial looks great and linen bezel crisp. Cal. 1071 is an awesome movement and you'll enjoy the feeling of that massive rotor turning on your wrist! Congratulations on a great entra...

Here is a shot of the movement (calibre 1701) that the seller sent me, as I haven't had the case back off yet. And here is a better shot of the "linen" pattern around the bezel. ...

They really show of the beautiful details of the dial and hands, the bezel and the movement. It is really nice to get some close-ups of a vintage piece like this. Please post more when you have the chance. respo
