I like this reference and have been looking for the no-date version. I think I found it in this recent purchase although no photos of the inside were included. We will see when it arrives.
P.S. I have had a couple of 166.009 examples, and neither had those nice arrowhead markers.
NICE!!! I would like to see this watch on a (Staib) mesh.....
. Alternatives are always on the table and I think I have a non-staib 20mm mesh somewhere.
Oh god, oh god, oh my god, what have I done!!
It just appeared on eBay!
Stripped and serviced and in pristine condition!
I was the only bidder!
It’s not as though I needed another watch but I’ve always had a soft spot for Rotary, particularly 37mm (39 with crown) and it was only £60!
Well, I don’t know. 😲
What have I done?
(Seller’s photos)
Well, it’s arrived and looks just like the seller’s photos. It is 37mm diameter, which is, I think, big for an older automatic Rotary and looks like it hasn’t had much wear. The face reminds me of the Seikomatics I’d fancied buying but the brassed ETA movement looks nicer than the unadorned Seiko movements and, of course, it winds.
I’ve scoured, well, had a google or two, but haven’t seen any Rotary like this. Still, a pretty £60 beater is just right for my Christmas stocking….
Cracking buy for £60! Great size and looks in very decent shape. How old do you think it is?
