I'd say yes but given my dire time constraints took me all of 15 mins to pick it out so zero research done. It's still not fully hooked up yet and sitting on the harth. Will likely take me 2 weeks or so to get it the old down and new up and fully connected, running, and figured out. After that I can PM u with details if ur interested.


Thank you 馃榾

Cleaned up a bit

I thought we were Birthyear buds but you keep finding all these beauties and not sending a single one my way! Nor are you parting ways with your vintage seamasters. WTH happened to our friendship?! haha beautiful watch, even for a Rolly.

Nice snag. That will look a treat with a new crystal.馃憤

65" Sony Bravia 4K HDR.
The Sammy above it died this AM during "Live from the Masters".

Just bought the same set...I have to say, once you watch 4k content its hard to go back to 1080 馃榾

UPDATE: The PP issue got handled at the very last minute and the watch is now on it's way. Not to me, but to an intermediary, who shall be referred to only as L'american... 馃槑
I came home tonight to three packages, always an exciting thing for a watch-obsessed pudwack like myself. Alas, none of the three are for me, and all will be heading across the Atlantic soon.馃檨

First, we have a stash of straps, suitable for someone with no self-control and that has been posting in this thread too frequently:
Next up is this gorgeous LeCoultre bumper. It has been a while since I held a bumper, I nearly forgot how fun they are. I may have to hold this for ransom for a while...
Look at those lugs!! 馃グ

Finally was a surprise protected by yards of bubble wrap. I'm usually not one to do the whole unboxing but a full kit like this deserves it:

Damn, there's a Connie in there!!

Even the buckle is cool: I'm going to hang onto these for a few days just in case @ConElPueblo decides to ship more loot to my house. You know, just to save on shipping.馃槜 In the meantime I'll be rocking this beautiful timepiece and telling everyone je suis l'American!

I've stopped looking at eBay and the sales forum here... Honestly. Well, I'll stop looking. Maybe. Tomorrow.

Really happy about the pictures; they are much better than the ones the sellers have provided. Looks like both of them are in the condition I expected them to be 馃榾

You're more than welcome to strut, eh, my stuff around - I enjoyed your Speedmaster immensely for a day or so too 馃榿

Hopefully, the next time I find an interesting piece in the US, the seller won't insist on using eBay Global Shipping 馃槻

Does the bezel rotate?

No it does not on the Exp IIs - I only need 2 time zones for my travel so it works. My old GMT had a rotating bezel and never used it much. Tried to for timing steaks occasionally, but without the minute markers, it wasn't very effective.

A Lemania cal 3065. Rare date version with sweep seconds.
Not easy to see from the rather limited sellers pics, but I think it holds some promise.
Cheese removal and PolyWatch in waiting.
