I really like the black dials on these. White gold and yellow gold represented here; anyone know if there were more colors? The WGF watch has a good balance but is missing the hairspring (!!).

Alex,
I like those too a lot! The white one I have it is the "Barbara" from 1935, also available in yellow.
No pink versions available of both watches. The twin with the side pattern is still nameless to me.
