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

This is all very funny and interesting and such, but let's focus on what's really important:

In 1998, The Undertaker threw Mankind off Hell In A Cell, and he plummeted 16 feet through an announcer's table.

Shame. It’s a mint watch other than that.
judging from the number of likes and comments on this thread, I fear the watch will be gone soon before I decide to accept the scratch at 40

Me too, otherwise I'd made an offer ::rimshot::

Given this pieces proven history of being a good luck charm... Would you entertain a rental program for this watch? I understand that there would need to be significant collateral put down by any potential renter. I just feel as though this watch is to powerful to be left on one persons wrist for too long.

Max rental period: 30 days.
Heading out on a big fishing trip? Rent this watch and bask in the admiration of your peers while you reel in record fish after record fish!
Have a big interview at work? Rent this watch and you're sure to get the job!
Have a big test coming up? Rent this watch and pass with flying colors!
Thinking of proposing to your significant other? Rent this watch and meet someone better within a week!

Let me know, I'm very interested in a potential stint with this beauty!

lemme guess…that’s @janice&fred
Hey that couple sounds famously familiar. Let me guess, the sweet lady tone signed off by Janice when a watch is being offered and the crazy rude reply by Fred when you surface the watch has an issue etc.

makes me wonder if this could be them?

I would throw in the NATO for you….😉
Damn... I keep on coming back to this gem!! Even with the additional 6k$ on custom fees, a free NATO, it is still a steal.

I won't resist much longer!

If I hadn’t just purchased 2 Citizen Eco-drives and a Casio calculator watch for $44k, I would be all over this. That Casio is sweet though- only has one dead digit and slight corner bleed on the LCD, but it still beeps when you set the alarm- a total steal!
The Citizens I bought are investment grade- I know those are gonna pop one of these days…money in the bank, baby!

I know there's a lot of fence sitters hovering over this watch (and a lot of tyre kickers too 🙄).

So!

If you are a bit reluctant to bust the budget for this offering (and I'm not saying it's not worth it) then I'm sure I have something just as nice and for a LOT less than this example.

The watch I will present (if interest warrants) was previously owned by none other than the very same owner of the currently advertised timepiece, so it has all of the history, life story, provenance and ownership credentials you seek, but at a bargain price.

If there is any interest to this offer for a watch owned by @STANDY, and fully serviced by me less than a month ago then let me know and I may, rather reluctantly, put it up for offers.

PS: Note that this post is NOT trying to white ant the OPs for sale thread, but simply to give our members access to another of his selected pieces.

You still have the opportunity to buy my Seedmaster for $41,329.84 CDN, I’d bet you could trade it even for the Seiko if you throw in a dozen dew worms and some rusty fishing pliers
