I bought this watch from the original owner back in 2006 and it has sat in my safe ever since. Case: Thick and even lugs with original bevels remaining, some nicks and scratches here and there as pictured, but overall in excellent condition. Dial/Hands/Insert: Perfect dial with killer patina and full lume plots, matching hands with slight oxidation, and very good condition insert with matching pearl. Movement: It runs well, sets, hacks, date advances no problems. I have never opened the caseback. For some odd reason it has a twin lock crown from a GMT fitted...I have no idea why. I have a triple lock crown/casetube that will be included. Bracelet: 93150 VE code with 580 endlinks in excellent condition Papers/Booklets/Boxes: Punch papers from and AD in NYC from 1981, 1979 and 1980 booklets (Submariner booklet has a DRSD), inner/outer boxes (outer has tear), hangtag. I am looking to get $11,500 shipped in the CONUS, payment by wire. I am more than happy to discuss the watch and supply pics to interested parties. Plenty of references.

GLWS! Although, I don't think this one needs any luck-it will sell itself rather easily. Just remember, keep the red!
Thanks for all of the kind words guys...hoping this one can stay in the family and go to a fellow collector.
Guess I'm holding on to mine (with B&P)...These have really gone up in value in the past year or two. And I do wear mine occasionally...
Congrats buyer & seller. Beautiful watch that 1680, wasn't it also for sale at HQ Milton at the same time?
