I love the look of this- looks fully restored. But I’m no expert on these.

Thoughts?

 

Please post photos of the item not just a link.

 

That’s not a Mark III.

 

The dip says mk3 but it’s a mk4.5 shape??

 

A 176.009 is a Mark IV.

Despite the sellers claims, this watch isn’t a rarity - it’s a Mark IV with a Mark III dial fitted to it.

Pass.

 

Thanks, my senses said it wasn’t right but I couldn’t see what

 

Yep, it is a fraken watch.

Bloody stop it will you? Now I want one of those too.

Wouldn’t it be cool to have 1 from every generation? I note that the Mk4.5 was available in 1979 and that this would be a birth year watch for me. And a little Maths would indicate that a biggie is on the horizon....
