    So it's here I'll let the pictures do the talking on condition, but I do know it's a single owner from new who was a pilot, inherited by son who sold it to me. As far as we know it has never had any parts replaced. 2015-09-17 13.18.32.jpg 2015-09-17 13.19.04.jpg 2015-09-17 13.27.20.jpg 2015-09-17 13.27.40.jpg 2015-09-17 13.28.10.jpg 2015-09-17 21.04.45 HDR.jpg 2015-09-17 21.06.26 HDR.jpg 2015-09-17 21.06.40 HDR.jpg 2015-09-17 21.10.10 HDR.jpg 2015-09-17 21.10.27 HDR.jpg 2015-09-17 21.11.01 HDR.jpg

    Apologies for the upside down pics

    :mad: ::censored:: !

    I tried so, so hard to get this one. Enjoy and wear (or store away in a safe) in good health. And if you move on from it, DIBS.

    I'll be wearing it, but will be storing the strap and box very safely.

    Probably overpaid, but took the sticky tip about better to overpay if you intend to keep it not flip it, "condition, condition, condition"

    Yup. It's all ive got as well.

    My photography skills are almost non existent, but I find it helps if you're in natural light and hold the phone further away but zoom in (this may be terrible advice and soneone who's know how to take decent pictures may soon chastise me!).

    that patina is A+ in my book. and a decimal bezel! dial condition overall looks amazing, actually. :thumbsup: Nice pickup! Correct me if i'm wrong, but isn't the 100 supposed to line up with the 12o clock marker? Looks a smidge off- but that's an easy fix :)

    Looks great! Mind me asking where you purchased your strap from? Not too many offer a vintage strap spread in 19mm. TIA
