Hey there OF,

Just showing a neat rare piece we just restored for a customer in California. Had never seen one before and thought it was worth a share. Any thoughts?

 

Great pictures, thanks!

 

Thanks for the photos

 

Interesting case!

How much refurbishment did you do? You did repolish the case I assume?

 

It is the Stingray/Cobra i think its called.

Nice work as always - you are the master of the sunburst case finish!

 

That is really awesome, thank you for posting those pics

We refinished the entire case.

 

The case work looks fantastic, well done!

 

Amazing work, very impressive, almost too nice

 

Nice work!

 

Wow! That case is stunning!

 

Cool looking watch and what a case! Thanks for showing.

A real taste of the 70s

 

Does anyone know how they sell on the market?

I found a sales offer of a nice looking piece which obviously sold for maximum EUR 525 one year ago ( https://www.horlogeforum.nl/t/verko...end-bezel-stingray-cobra-166-122-73-74/104902 ) which seems cheap and there is a current ebay offer for EUR 1450 which seeems overpriced ( https://www.ebay.de/itm/A-Rare-Vint...377546?hash=item33e449db0a:g:z-gAAOSwLs9aeXVfPurchases made through these links may earn this site a commission from the eBay Partner Network ).

 

Great watch and gorgeous pictures! Did you clean the dial as well?

 

Dial is all original. Only cleaned it with a dust blower

 

I wish I had a better shot of the movement when it was all serviced, but I forgot to take one. It was in perfect condition!

 

Looks amazing. Do you have any pre-restoration pics?

 

Wow really unusual case not sure I have seen one like that before, thanks for sharing.
