Wow

 

In such company I'm not sure if these will measure up, but they are the only true NOS Swiss watches that I have.

 

Bought my Malte Grande in a Starbucks.

 

Here are some that came to me in unworn condition, as far as I can tell.

























...and these spacey ones were very near NOS:

 

Knowing that you would only want as original examples as possible, I want to know what year that's from. Some knowledge from all you Speedmaster freaks seems to be rubbing off on me. The dot over 90 and the metal Ω symbol on the dial tell me it's pre-1970 and either a very early transitional 861 or a 321 from one of the last years. Knowing that there are more from some years than others around, odds say that it's a '67. Is there any giveaway from the caseback or the style of hands that would tell me otherwise?

 

I have never understood the whole dibs thing. Never thought I would participate. Now I do.

 

I would expect you to show some solidarity with the less fortunate and at least show us one each day - to keep the thread going and the saliva running...

It is your duty.

 

You have all seen this one before and I am sorry for the bad pic. It is not NOS but as MSNWatch wrote above about his speedy it is in great shape. And it is in better shape than the pics can tell. The main problem is "opening scratches" on back. Some f****************n i*****t could not use the tool correctly in its past.

As MSNWatch: es speedy it is not NOS but I believe neither his nor mine waters down this thread very much.

Keep them coming...

 

I don't know if I like the bezel or the medallion on that better. We'll call it a drool..... er, draw.

ps - "idiot" or "nitwit" would have been perfectly fine to type in your post, and in this case I think we all would have excused or even endorsed the use of the f-bomb.

 

Great idea to have this thread :

Still with its original strap and buckle :






Same for this younger one :





No original strap or buckle but immaculate :

 

Sorry,

I forgot this one.......

 

I almost called dibs, too! The Nivada Antarctic is a special piece!
