And I have all of you to blame! I was a Stainless toolwatch guy, SM300, Speedy's, Subs, etc. There's something about the 2852 that drew me in. I was looking for PG dome dial, but I couldn't pass this one up. Got it from the ebay seller in Switzerland. The V.S.S.F, I think stands for "Verband Schweizerischer Sprengfachleute" or "Swiss Society of Explosive Engineers". I'm guessing, from the light use, it was a presentaion watch. Well here's some photo's some mine, some the sellers. Escuse the lousy photos, you guys have more practice and better cameras. Thanks to Mike for the pre-purchase thumbs up.
We'll happily be scapegoats for any forum member. Refined taste that comes with maturity. (oh, yes I did go there! ) Nice score!
Good decision to purchase the watch and looks like it arrived safe and sound. My evolution was the opposite - started out with the shiny gold models and then embraced the sports models with a passion.
