    This watch is not NOS, but it is a “2-footer” (i.e., from 2 feet away it is hard to differentiate from a NOS example).

    Price: US$650.00 (OBO) net of any preferred payment or shipping fees

    Dial: Original (linen, applied furniture, etc. - a few indices appear to be missing lume pips)

    Hands: Original

    Crown: Original (signed)

    Crystal: Original sapphire (microscopic chip at edge, at ~12:30, pictured)

    Case: 36 mm. Some very small hairline scratches or rubs, no dents. The hairline scratches are so few and feint it is difficult to photograph any of them, but please see photos.

    Movement: 1250 (ESA 9162) 12 jewels tuning fork with date. Not serviced in my possession. With crown pushed in, it hums (audibly) and appears to keep perfect time (but I have not used measurement tool). Stored with crown out.

    At the time of writing this post, I’ve not found my caseback tool – but may add photos later if my toddler returns the tool.

    Bracelet: 1190/192 (11) which I believe makes this the original bracelet (rather than service replacement). Some very small hairline scratches, no dents. The hairline scratches are so few and feint it is difficult to photograph any of them, but please see photos. Solid stainless steel links and substantial clasp. Bracelet barely fits (too tight) my large 21cm wrist at the largest clasp-extension setting.

    Accessories: Includes: plastic brown f300 box, f300 cardboard box around it, instruction card, and period polishing cloth. See photos.

    Location/Shipping: Watch located in Austin, TX, and price includes shipping to CONUS via USPS (if you would like FedEx Priority shipping, please add $25). Deep OBO discount for F2F ease. (I will consider well thought out, proposed and reimbursed alternatives including international shipping, insurance, etc.; but I reserve the right to politely decline further effort – and these days, all EU/UK related headache is on buyer, with apologies and condolences.)

    References: I’ve not sold a watch since 2014; I’ve only sold watches on OF, and back then references were not so common/required a follow-up. I have plenty of feedback as a buyer on eBay, with the same handle of cvalue13. Otherwise, the primary risk-adjustment I can offer buyer is my tenure on OF together with the language below in bold italics.

    Disclaimers: All descriptions above are as I understand/view it; I’m not a professional seller, or always deeply familiar with the minutiae of my vintage pieces. It is not my intent to sell something I don’t have, and buyer is free to ask questions and do its own diligence. Accordingly, I welcome forum member comments/corrections regarding complete authenticity or period-correctness in the comments section (*grits teeth and braces for impact*).

    Returns: No returns please; ask questions and extra pictures in advance. Always welcome to request video as well.

    [EDIT: Trades: as I am pairing down some things, I’m currently not interested in watch trades except perhaps for particularly nice straps, bracelets, clasps that might be particularly compelling for any of:

    -> Rolex Sub 124060 (21mm)

    -> U.G. Aero-Compax 24hr 890100 (22mm)

    -> Glycine Airman 24hr, vintage (22mm)

    -> Cal.321B, Ed White/Gene Cernan (19mm) ]

    Currently listed only on OF; reserve right to list elsewhere on notice.
