Having enjoyed the forum, its high time to contribute. Here is a recent find in a Colorado backwater. My first Kontiki but now the fever is running hot and the search is on for more. The GF bracelet is marked 1 58 and based on serial comparisons I believe this is a first series - untouched.

 

Stunning

 

Cool. What is the case size?

 

Awesome find!

 

Jesus. What a find. Congrats all around.

 

That's just gorgeous. Congratulations!

 

Wow, you made a fantastic find, huge congrats and wear in good health

 

Thank you for the feedback. The case is 36.5mm. It wears well and the GF bracelet is smooth and comfortable. I have to admit to wrapping the case in a clear watch protector - only the the paranoid survive.

 

That's a home run- simply wonderful all around. Bravo!

 

Wow, wow, WOW!

 

Good to see another Aussie on here - thanks for the feedback.

 

Spectacular. Best one I've seen. Congrats!

 

Awesome find!

 

Well done mate, great watch

Any chance on some background on how you managed to find it.

 

Thanks - it was sitting in a case of Invictas and other nonsense at a pawn shop. I bought a decent Seamaster from them a few months back and dropped in on the off chance. Tried to find out something about the seller but they would tell me much. The vintage gods smiled that day.

 

Wow!!! That’s an amazing find. Enjoy it and may the vintage gods bless all of us once like they blessed you

 

Colorado backwater eh? Do tell. Sounds like a good story there...

 

Lakewood, Colorado is as backwater as it gets. It will take more than a Kontiki find to make it a tourist destination. In other words - a forsaken hole in the ground.

 

Incredible find! Congrats

 

i want to buy it from you
