Issues: · Minor scratches · Recommend a service for regular wear · Warranty paper has a tear · No box Positives: · Very sharp case and bracelet. A nearly 30 year old watch that looks like it's been worn 6 months. · Warranty paper included with matching s/n · All functions working as expected 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. Price: REDUCED $3,200 (was $3,450) including Paypal and CONUS shipping. Wire transfer also accepted. Please PM me here on OF. Returns: Returns not accepted unless grossly misrepresented.

Looks great on a tan or brown strap imo.
+1. I've seen this one up close also and can vouch for it. I can also vouch for Lou, he's a great guy.
Beautiful watch, I have been on the hunt for a blue dialed watch, thank God it is bi-color and not all stainless (or white gold) or I would be trying to make up yet another story to tell the wife to justify spending another $3500 on a watch I don't really need. GLWS It is beautiful and just from his posts on here, I can tell Lou is a great guy. McK
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.
