·Hi OF,
Hope you don’t mind, but I want to show off a new acquisition. I hear a lot about “barn finds” and while they can be spectacular they don’t seem to come my way so I find a bit more pleasure in a treasure found in the Big Bay. Being the only one to turn over a rock is cool, finding that same rock in a place people search everyday is a bit more rewarding for me.
Picked this one up a few weeks back. No reserve auction, late evening W. Coast end time helped me a bit I am sure. 145.022-69 with a 2911xxxx serial number.
No wrist cheese, more of a safe-queen. Movement looks untouched. Not sure if that red is original caseback seal or not (don’t know if they did that in 1970?) but regardless it is super clean.
I had a 10% off eBay coupon on top. 😎
That made me extra happy, I am a cheap bastard at my core lol
Because of what I paid I keep looking to see if I missed a big red flag but I don’t think so. Paid closer to the Fair price than Good on the SP101 price chart. Please nitpick away, let me know what I missed.
