Finally up for sale is this true Gem of a watch.
Worn hard and will give you goosebumps with all the adventure this watch has had.
Your wrist will never be the same.

Want to show those desk diver types at the office who is not a couch potato.... Boom

Snoopyish style blue bezel that everyone is looking for nowadays.

Sold head only ( I know but the NATO means a lot to me so that will be extra and I know it annoyed someone here a few weeks ago )

Runs well but I don’t really tell the time with it as time doesn’t exist where I live.





Picked our first pineapple wearing this watch



Recently Serviced about 5 years ago by @JimInOz ( was free but I have included the extra $400 for a bottle of scotch for him that I never sent him )


Hands have been relumed.
Case has never been polished. Probably eroded by life would be a better term to explain the case
Bezel has a scratch at 40 but very hard to notice
Dial replaced with a NOS one hence the listing as NOS
Crystal is see through


Picture before it was serviced


Again this has been my good luck charm for years resulting in several memorable fish being caught while this was strapped to my wrist


Now for the price. I have taken in all the experiences I have had with this watch and the current price of the Snoopy 3 on chrono 24 to come up with below. ( not forgetting the $400 for the $100 bottle of scotch I owe Jim and postage to Melbourne by a courier that doesn’t drink which is hard to find in Darwin )

$28,400.00US net to me.
Would prefer face to face locally but will ship at buyers expense.

References galore if you need them
Just PM

At such a ridiculously low price I would feel too guilty to snatch it. Perhaps one of those Struggling Sun Coast boys would like it

“A scratch at 40” is a shame. I’d totally sell the four Rolex I don’t have for this.
Too bad my vision is still good, else I’d...

Minty is the best descriptor for this. I love the moonshadow crater bezel and dusky evening swamp colored lume. I think this is a giant killer, a great investment piece and truly a one-of-a-kind timepiece. The wrist presence must be insane and I can see this attracting men and women to your sheer sexual prowess.
If I had not just had the brakes done on my Lambo- this would be mine!

I forgot to ask:
What is your lowest price you would take?
Can you please take 45 detailed pictures of every angle and scratch in 3 types of lighting?
Can you please provide me with proof of service and 4 references from that watchmaker? He must have a website and YouTube channel- if you paid less than $2k for service, then he must be a hack.
Why don’t you have an extract? It’s worthless without an EOA.

Please respond to this within 30 seconds or I will pester you for days, then when you do respond- I will ghost you.

Will buying this watch carry a transference (even just a fraction) of rugged Aussie Coolness? Asking for a friend. If so, I would like to buy it.

As I didn't call dibs on this one it feels unfair to the person who did to steal it from under his nose at such a bargain price.😗

Somehow I have the feeling that I will be disappointed once I lick the watch and it will not taste minty. 🙁

I don't see the Seiko in the fish picture, and that does look like Buzz Aldrin's arm, so I think the association is marginal at best.

I'll trade you a bucket of toads for it, but only if you can prove its a redial.

I'm serious, I have the toads!

My wrist detached itself from my body after I informed it that this watch was too much for it.

I will pay your full asking price. But, I'm in a COVID affected area so can't pick it up, in person.

How about I PayPal you your asking + $100, for your trouble to send it to me.

Oh, and I live in Nigeria. Make that asking + $200.
