·Looks like I am ending the year with a bang! I missed out on a really nice and correct 1655 on ebay a week ago, and was pretty bummed. Most of the ones offered on the market were either beat to shit, incorrect, or if correct, way too expensive.
I had seen a watch on ebay that had been on there forever. The pics were just awful, but I thought I spied a case bevel as well as brush marks on the tops of the lugs. They were a brick and mortar store, so I gave them a ring, and asked for them to send more pics...they did...and shortly thereafter we worked a deal.
It is a 6,040,xxx serial from 1979, a birthyear, with a MKIV dial and MKIII bezel which is correct for the serial range. The 93150 is later.
Now to pics...
