    I bought this for my 40th since it was a birthyear watch...and then got a Kermit, so this has to go. You don’t see many smooth bezel DJs and even fewer Buckleys.

    Case: 36mm stainless with a good amount of sleeve wear as pictured. Lugs are even and fat for a DJ. Serial and ref are clear and razor sharp.

    Dial: Excellent condition creamy white Buckley with custard tritium lume plots intact.

    Hands/Crystal: Hands are perfect glossy black with custard tritium. Crystal is OEM and has been polished.

    Movement: I couldn’t get the caseback off with my ball, so no shots. It runs and has a decent power reserve. If you plan on wearing everyday, I would recommend a service. If you plan on wearing in a rotation, then it should be fine. No service history known.

    Bracelet: Jubilee is C code and 55 endlinks. It’s a 40 year old Jubilee, so stretched, but still serviceable.

    Overall a very nice DJ that hasn’t been polished a million times - get it serviced and polished or leave as-is and enjoy. Asking $3400 Shipped in the CONUS with wire payment. Feel free to DM or email watchknut AT gmail.com
