Provenance: Previous owner is a good friend who purchased it pre-owned in the late 90’s and kept it stored and unworn. I acquired it 1 year ago and wore it a handful of times. Neither he nor I had it serviced, hence why I’m recommending a service for regular wear.

Water resistance: I offer no water resistance guarantee, but given this watch’s very good condition,I believe a watchmaker should still be able to secure descent WR.

Location: Both watch and myself are in the Chicago area.

Really tough to capture the scuffs and minor scratches on the lugs.

Looks great on a tan or brown strap imo.

I had this watch in hand for a couple of weeks. It is stunning.. Buy with confidence.

Black Friday bump and Price Reduced to: $3,200 US

Thank you for the positive comments!

With the holidays around the corner…have you considered it as a gift for a lady? Apple watches which ladies are wearing all the time, are larger than this...and this has a lot more class!

Here it is on an 18/12 ladies strap.


Thank you for your consideration.

SOLD!
