Purchased a 2503.33 couple weeks ago off of eBay. Could not be happier. This watch is 14 years old, it's in great shape and it's got a beautiful watch face with all those amazing bright blue indices shining in the sun. I had Aaron Pimental make me a special strap for it and it turned out awesome as well.

Hope you enjoy the photos. I'm not super awesome and taking pictures.

I'm starting to consider one of these. Have you timed yours? I hear the coaxials are seriously accurate. I know me though, I might have to go for the Master Coaxial. 馃榾 I know I have a serious problem. If there is something that is a little better, I have a hard time staying away.

I also just found that there is a 36mm version 2504.xx.

That could be close to one-watch territory.

Well done with yours!

Thank you!

This is amazingly accurate. I don't have a timegrapher, but here is my anecdotal story:

I went to a three day work conference, and after three days it was still right there with my iPhone within a second. I took it off to sleep and wore it all three days.

Edit about size:

My wrist is 7.25 that's 39 mm I was worried was going to be too small, but the bezel is minimal so the dial seems bigger than it is. I was thinking it might be better to have a larger size one, but my wife thinks this is perfect for my wrist.

Cool, that's what I've heard. They are easily within COSC tolerances.

I'm at 6.75" wrist size. Even the Globemasters feel too large for me. I bet the 39mm is perfect for you. I've really gotten used to the smaller sizes. That is a bit of an advantage for buying vintage since everything was samller 40+ years ago.
