    Hey All,

    I was lucky enough to come across this stunning 3706, with a tritium dial this week. She's absolutely mint, without a single mark on her! Story has it, that she basically sat in her poor box since new. She keeps good time, albeit a bit stiff to wind. Off to the spa she will go this week, then she will get plenty of wrist time going forward :)

    My question is really around the dial and the variants of this dial. I know the 3706 had a couple dial variations and I'm curious if anyone here with more knowledge than I, can share their wisdom. Anyone have a good idea of the different dial variations and the one I have here?

    All I know is, it's likely the first variation (Tritium dial). Not sure if there is different MK versions etc... Thoughts?

    Here she is:

    Impressive. Love that bracelet. It's one of the best bracelets ever made.

    Those 3713s, 3711s, and 3706s are amazing classics.
