    Another new addition to the family... I chose the SBDX001 over the more modern MM300’s because of my preference for the lume colour and a lack of diasheild. That it’s the original is just icing on the cake :)

    This one is quite late for an 001, produced in May of ‘14 which I believe is right near the end of production.

    Here it is next to its diver cousins... one more diver in transit and I’ll be done for a while :cool:

    I bought this in an auction; it was pricey but the auctioneer was quite hard to deal with so I think they managed to put a good deal of international buyers off. Lucky me :) I was irrationally excited for it to arrive as you never know how good the watch in a remote auction will be in hand; in this case, it's fabulous. Better than I ever thought it could be.

    It's a 5717-8990 single-pusher chronograph from April 1966; pretty unusual to have a black/grey dial and it looks to be in really good nick.

    The colour of the lume is outstanding. Nice pickup.

    Nice. Pogi (poguey) means handsome in our local dialect

    I'm always excited to put this on - perhaps the only thing that makes me nostalgic for the 1990s
