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

We're discussing the deal; that's what forum is supposed to do.

Afterall it's once in a lifetime 'offer for sale' watch...

Bidding competition, most certainly!

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

Honestly, I did think of that Calatrator gem of yours... Who wouldn't... priced to sale, unique design.

But the added NATO, here, makes this offer so much more a investment no-brainer! It is hard to look away, already the elegant and refined patina, the years of plexi scratching, top it up with the rough to wear NATO.

can you honestly match that? Go the extra mile? I understand your proposal is very very competitive, but a free NATO!!

While @JimInOz has offered another quality timepiece (with its impeccable provenance) from The @STANDY Collection ™️, I believe that a consortium of OF gentlemen should purchase the watch originally offered under a joint, timeshare arrangement so that we can all enjoy it without worrying that someone else will snaffle it (NATO or no NATO).

Ah… WatchRecon indexing has been broken partially since about jan/feb we spent a lot of time trying to figure it out, it actually might be this thread that did it as the bot has been going haywire

Brilliant idea! Here's my equity contribution to the fund. If I'm not mistaken we now have two Vostoks in the pool for a combined cash value of $US110.00

And yes, that is V.Putin glaring at my Vostok. Why? Because it's on a NATO strap!!!!! Bwa ha ha ha ha.

Telling is not selling: talk less and listen more

Selling is 60% listening and only 40% talking. During a conversation with a customer, a sales rep should identify and understand customers’ needs, find buying signals and close the deal. Therefore, prior to providing a solution, a sales rep will need to get at the root of the problem by asking the right questions to identify customers’ pain points 😁 behind their buying decision.

I nearly had enough change in my car's cup holder to make a move on this.

Unfortunately, the guys at the car wash snagged it all last week.

Scale is about right for a Tuna

But I do question the leaf hands and the shade of the green- I’m gonna call redial. How dare you offer a Frankentuna for such a lauded piece as this….piece.

Is that one of those ultra-rare tuna-hulks? Wow! Never seen one in the wild.

Since when are Tunas made in Oz.

I thought the NH brand was the only Australian made watch.
