    I have finally decided to clean up a bit and focus my collection on Moonwatches, there will be some more watches to come as I have to make some space and release some funds. To decide putting this one on sale has been a long process for me but now it's time so here we go :

    1960s New Old Stock Superb Condition 50+ years wristwatch

    Case : 35mm w/o crown, Stainless Steel in a perfect condition, screwed caseback with only one scratch (see photo) signed inside
    Dial : perfectly clean
    Crown and Pushers : Stainless Steel in a perfect condition
    Calibre : Valjoux 7733 à navette. 17 rubis, 18'000 A/h. Signed Gallet & Co on the bridge
    Hands : Tritium (lume ok)
    Band : new black leather strap from Hirsch

    No box or papers - will be shipped in a Rolex Transport/Service case to ensure safety

    Service history unknown - the watch is a safe queen. I am the third owner so far.
    Winds and runs strong, including chrono functions (start - stop - restart - reset to zero)
    Asking price CHF 2000 / USD 2000 net to me.

    I've brought this watch to the GTG in Lausanne last summer, guys who attended can for sure confirm the exceptional condition of this one.

    Returns accepted only if not as described / shown in photos.
    Face to face deal preferred, shipping outside Switzerland to be discussed with the buyer.

    I have several recommendations as buyer on the forum and one as seller. Feel free to ask if you don't find.
    Any other questions - please PM and ask.

    Now some photographs (high-res for your convenience, click to zoom) :

    Since I can only post one sale thread a day, this watch will sell even before I make all the necessary listings :whipped:

    And post a thread doesn't automatically mean sell :confused:

    Oh, bullshit. You can't stand riding on that rickety old thing. The wheels are gonna fall off any day now...

    I would be truly afraid to wear that. I would ding it up just holding it.

    Ah spos you're right. I might have to gear up for the upcoming watch season because I have been getting the itch lately - especially from the WRUW thread. Who's the f::censored::king idiot who started that infernal thing? ::rant:

    ....... oh, um....... ::shy::
