    Hello OF member's,

    Offering a 1960's unfinished grey colonial blue/metallic blue dial automatic 165.002.

    I had originally purchased this one for the better half and it turns out she prefers lager diameter watches. The watch has been sitting unused and deserves to be worn much more frequently.

    Asking $700----->Reduced 625.00 USD OBRO and includes shipping and insurance. Located in NYC

    The dial exhibits aging/burn marks from the tritium dots at each hour marker and is clearly visible in photos attached. Hands are original and tritium completely intact.

    Case measures 35mm w/o crown X 40mm X 9 mm. This is a honest and unpolished example with some wear to case and lugs.

    Also worth mentioning in the above photo is the corrosion spot just the the left hand side of the right lug.

    Crown is original

    Movement was serviced prior to my purchase 3 years ago from a well respected member here on OF and we use the same watchmaker, so I have no doubts this is the case. Photo below of movement is from the original posting as I have not opened the case since ownership.

    Watch will be supplied with a JB Champion bracelet with expansion end links.

    Please look at the numerous pictures closely as I will not be accepting returns on this one unless grossly misrepresented.

    I will happily share the original sale post to those interested by PM.

    References are available to those interested.

    Thank you for the platform OF.
