Your 96 is just perfect. Much more cool than a mint 96 NOS with no character.
I also like your Dauphine hands - much prefer it than leaf hands (although the hands look like replacement or service hands).
The double signature is cool too but what I really love is the most is the engraving on the back.
I would buy this watch just for the engraving. What a great story.
Congratulations on a killer watch - Edmond

I've been swinging between the CPCP monopoussoir and the ref. 96 for the past few months. Then finally this came into my sight, a double labeled 96 retailed by Shreve, Crump & Low. It is a rather normal piece, the dial has been slightly cleaned: since the...
Vin, congratulations. The Ref 96 is certainly for connoisseurs.

Its 31 mm case is not everybody's taste and it is perfect. The Connoisseurs will enjoy it. It is a watch which is really charming, and its size contributes to that. I fell on several, and each time, it was with great pleasure. Here some specimens. ...

Best, Vin
Superb

This is an example of pure passion. A unique watch, with an odd dial, and a journey back in time on its engraved back. What might have been the story? Where are these people now? A refreshing alternative to all the me-too 5711s and frying-pan-sized curren...
True

Especially as normally people worry about engravings damaging the resale value of a watch. This one was bought out of passion, not to make a profit.
Profoundly true.

Tonypatch, you have described the very essence of this timepiece.
You have a rare beauty

with extra personality. I bet the present-day owners of SCL would love to see this.
Absolutely love it

Great watch, with great engraving. Love the double signed dial, which I don't think was ever touched. Not all dials have the accented "e", as evidenced by this 1944 Patek with original dial: ...

And I can say that Shreve Crump & Lowe is one of my favorite. I have only seen one other SC&L, which is a ref 431 (PM me for details). I would of bought it but dial is refinished... Anyway, you did very well - the ref 96 may be polarizing but if y...
