Hello,

I have 3 Ed White in my collection, but I think I should sell one of them in order to buy other interesting references.
If you were me, which one would you let go ?
It's hard to take a decision. I'm sure I will keep the n° 1 because I love its patina.

N° 1 is a 105.003-65.
N° 2 is a 105.003-63.
N° 3 is a 105.003-65 with interesting provenance (delivered to the NAAFI).









The n° 2 now has a DON bezel.







N° 3. The dial is very clean.











N° 1 - 2



N° 3 - 1



Thanks for your help !

 

I agree 100%, you should sell one of them. Buggered if I know which one but I think you should sell it to me!

 

Dibs?

 

Does that work if somebody is thinking about selling?

 

Great EW collection! I thought I had one 8 months ago, but it didn't work out...

I agree, that #1 is the keeper, but I think the '63 is slightly more rare?

Good luck!

 

Good dibs!

I'll second the 'dibs'!!

 

Only 3 ???

 

I'd probably let #3 go. Interesting provenance, but the other two are nicer looking to me.

 

Seriously, I think the best way is to sell @Barking mad style.

List all three with your price and when one goes you pull the other two.

 

Just out of interest is that due to the more yellow colour of the indices lume?

 

For me, yes. The other two look warmer.. though attraction is subjective.

 

Sell no 3. It's duplicate with no 1, and not quite as attractive as no 1. The NAAFI provenance on the Extract is not that interesting IMO, it's hardly an issued or military watch, or is it?

 

Maybe No.3 isn't an issued or military watch but for some people the NAAFI will always be something special? It may not be around for much longer. Especially after this

Keep 1, sell me 2 (I play piano ), and maybe later sell 3 to all those that have dibs ahead of me .
Beautiful collection of Ed's, but you already know that!

 

Just wondered, I agree. No.3 has that odd, creamy, puffy look.

 

Yes n°2 has a more attractive patina I think, but both dials are in very good condition. N°3 dial is like new, I can't even notice a little scratch on the surface.
And what about the bezels ? Do you prefer the black one of n°2 or the grey ? Of course they are easy to switch

 

I like the bezel no.2 has better than the no.3 bezel.

 

Initially No.2 does look better but No.3 does have a certain kind of attractiveness with that slightly worn grey hue on the outer periphery of the bezel.

 

Just out of interest has anybody tried cleaning up a grey bezel with a drop of jewellers rouge?

 

Awesome trio. What other references are you looking at?
