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

I've DM'ed him several times. Hard headed, won't negotiate. 😁
Same here.
Made a few reasonable offers close to the asking.
Just keeps sayin' "I know what I got so don't low ball".

You need to negotiate with something of use to someone living in the middle of nowhere…perhaps a pound of dry salted pork, a hickory axe handle, or maybe a deer pelt. You are thinking like someone to whom money means something.
I offered 3 sheep, 2 goats and a lawn tractor. Nothing. Some people can be difficult.

Wow- he clearly can’t see the potential there- wool, lanolin, sheep & goat milk, free brush/grass clearing…talk about missed opportunities!

But not Mrs Tpatta and your first born?

He knew you were holding back 😎

Aaaw🥰
You think I’m joking, but this little 7lb terror used to herd the 3 huskies she lived with aggressively.

It’s what you mow while wearing a Speedmaster.

I'm beginning to suspect that the OP has no intention of selling this watch.

He wants to show off to the world that he owns it. The only purpose is to become the envy of all.

You may be onto something here, sunshine, big fish, loads of drinking water, no lawn mowing, no neighbours and a, shall we say, unique timepiece ….he is just showing off isn’t he?

Rumor has it George Lazenby was spotted on the red carpet wearing a white-dial version of this. Guessing the OP will be more motivated to sell now.

This was priced to sell, I don't know what kind of conspiracy is going on here.

The market has softened and these have really taken a hit. I would think a substantial price drop to $27,500 would be appropriate.
(And yes, I know exactly what putting a price in does to Watchrecon- can we break it again?)
