Comet & mystery dials

The mystery watch has been popular during the 1950s where the watch makers attempt to have a new interpretation of time.

My red mystery dial arrived safely yesterday. I have two comet (yellow, blue) in leather straps and this red one is unique as it comes with a stainless steel bracelet. Now, the hunt is on for a dark blue comet...

Looking at the picture below, I should perhaps change the colour of the yellow Comet with bright yellow strap? Daring?

Besides the Longines Comet, there is also another type of mystery dial by the small Election watch company.

However, in my opinion, the prettiest looking mystery dial is the Jaeger Lecoultre + Vacheron Constantin mystery watch with diamonds markers.

Rolex 8171

Generally, the steel 8171 will have the word Precision at the subsidiary dial.

while the gold 8171 has the two lines wordings but i guess there are exceptions
as I have found several steel 8171 with two lines wording
