Im not interested at 85'... leaning more towards 50' or so.

 

I think we agree. If I really wanted one badly I could even have stretched toward 60, but I have other Grails to chase.

 

And which are those if one may ask??

 

You know.......

 

I see

Well, if you get over here, you can at least get to try one on

 

I would love to do that, and the occasion might not be too far off.
What's the punishment for simple theft in Sweden?
Can I claim adoption attempt to get away more lightly?

Don't worry.... I will behave

 

Vintage watch theft here is punished here in the same way as horse theft in the wild west in the first half of the 19th century

 

Then I guess an adoption arrangement lubricated with sufficient piles of Swedish kroner is the only way ahead.....

 

Hate to break up the party.. Another Viggen' for ya (proper chrono seconds hand will be added next service)

 

Something for "nationaldagsfirande"
Mmmm...




Dont be shy now..

 

Posting from Down-Under?

 

Belly laugh, you were fast to catch that one. Kanske "bako framåt" on my lunch with monster bakis/hangover... Fixed.. now

These look great, where abouts can a person procure such a watch?

 

Get in line!!!

 

Simple answer the internet. You have be on a mission. If you live in mountainous north you have a better chance as some off line deals can be found. Again on a mission. Took me about 3 years to get mine.

I know what I'm going to say next is going to stir up some frenzy...

YES
Yes

It's a Viggen for sale on the rolex forum. Its has character shall I say. Prestige yes prestine well it's got character.

My questions are about the early 1st issue. The ones with issue numbers between the lugs.
Do they have M # and tre kronor on caseback?
Are the welds always three digits or a mix of # / ## / ###

Thanks in advanced flying manovers.

@marturx - Lord of the Viggens - What say ye?

 

I am not Lord of the Viggens, but perhaps can help too.. I was told once that with this bezel config, and no military markings on the back, that this could be South African Air Force issued. Lemania SAAF, but I am not 100% sure. Anyone else?

 

I am tempted to say its a Franken. Built to look like a military watch?
Bezel is all wrong for a Viggen. Caseback is not marked as issued.
Some sample, but more likely a put together watch. Nice, but not at USD7K.
Still awaiting for the (Swedish) cavalry to chime in: @styggpyggeno1 might also have a say or two?

 

Good call @x3no, i had not realised the Saaf came in two dial variants. With and without /|\. Than caseback should have AF#####. Does anyone know what the Saaf inside case ref is? It's not listed in Knirim. Rn 0552... Is listed as 818, Viggen as 817.

Calling the high fliers @marturx @styggpyggeno1 and others, please help us land crabs.

Thanks again
