I know I didn't NEED it. I have the reference already. I even have nice examples. But not like this.

SM300 165024 all original with original 1506/16 4-66 bracelet. Transitional buckle. 24703xxx 552 Movement. Marvelous original hands, dial and bezel. Flat foot crown. Barely worn. Never polished. I don't see any service marks under the caseback. Spectacular condition. A premium example.

 

I would 'like' this, but I am too jealous

Congratulations -- that is a great score.

 

thats stunning

 

Wow. Great find! I guess you can let one of your other fine examples go

 

Amazing !

 

A grail.
Awesome.

Congratulations.

I'm in the car and just took my sunglasses off to take in that patina. Out of control example!

 

Wow, barely even a mark on it!! Lugs and mid-case look almost completely untouched. Amazing, how does something like this happen after 50 years?

 

Good job there! A beauty for sure

 

okay, since no one else has said it...

dibs!

 

Stunning is the only thing to say!!!! If you ever get bored of it feel free to send it my way Wear and enjoy in good health!!

 

Whaou ! Incredible! Congrats
That is the second one so close to the perfection I see in few weeks!
The first one is just a little bit above but no so far

 

You leave me no choice but to add my 166024 Big Triangle to the mix

 

You've knocked it out of the park with this one! Almost impossible to upgrade on this condition and the Patina is killer. Sweet score.

Nicer than the one European Watch is asking $15k for!!!

Good work

 

Well.Done.

Lovely. I'd say wear it in good health, but will you wear it at all?

 

Incredible !! Perfect condition !!
Only thing : the clasp buckle is not correct for a 1506 bracelet

 

@gemini4 : Sorry I see that you said "transitional buckle", I didn't know there are 2 kinds of buckle for 1506
