With the sellers permission to show the photos, I’d love to get peoples thoughts and advise on this beauty!!
Mid 70’s, I believe 1976. Box and papers, UK supplied. Any red flags at all?
Thanks in advance gentlemen. 👍

I thought that was the incorrect bracelet at first but just double checked it’s correct with the right date stamp on the clasp. Looks pretty good to me. Nice to have the box and papers

Sorry to be a bit off-topic on condition, but I always have this irresistible itch to comment when "Steve McQueen" name is still used on 1655 despite him never wearing one.😁

By no means an expert with these, but no obvious read flags for me

Straight second hand is in range ( seem to move to lolipop seconds hand around late 73 to 74 from what i can glean from the web)

Btw - where did you see the date stamp on the bracelet?

Agreed but alas it’s the name for it. I blame the Italians.

And of course anyone who perpetuates the moniker moving forwards.....
