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 on sale for so long, it surely deserves a price increase due to inflation!

I think the opposite. Clearly not priced to sell. Should have been bumped down to about tree fiddy by page 19.

Why is this watch still here? I would have thought it would have been snapped up by some Rolexy type persona ages ago.

Just be mindful of the fact that the seller says a flat 28,000 in the title, but if you read the ad carefully, he says 28,400. Really shifty, if you ask me. And it doesn't come with the NATO in the pictures, so whatever you put on it won't even smell like that fish. Too many red flags for me. For the same money you can get a whole village in rural Italy and still have enough left over for Uranus Moonswatch.

See, I thought it was enough to take us to the edge of the cliff. You decided we needed to jump right off.

Well Guys…
I just have to take a stab at this -so here we go!😁



Dear Sir, I would like to do a trade..

Honest one owner and a wonderful piece.
Box and papers.
Case is worn but unpolished.
Dial and lume is in a wonderful condition.
Crystal is a bit scratched.

I do think that a full service would be appreciated by the new owner.
Serial nr places this as a year 2010-isch..?
Shipping at your expense…

Drumroll for the pics.....

Gorgeous patina. Might be worth giving the dial a quick wipe with Polywatch?

Possible redial?

Maybe a service dial? These fine pieces are always very well taken care of...
I do think that the chief of oils had a looooooong holiday!😉

I understood the service dials did not have the DUH?
