    Had to visit my favorite pawnbroker today...I had been working them for a few weeks, and they finally bit on my year end offer.

    I know it is modern, but it is kind of cool. May stay, may go, just not sure.

    I am currently looking for one of those unpolished. It is so hard to find. Any polishing ruins the "already" thin crown guards.

    Love how the bezel accentuates the natural beauty of the ever so faint green luminous plots, only to be smoothed out by the balancing effect of the date window and cyclops.

    I think it’s a keeper.

    Congrats!

    What's wrong with a modern Rolex? Looks like a great catch.

    Unobligatory vote for keep. Probably the only 5+ digit that will ever make it into my collection.

    There needs to be a “dibs” perminant thread. An interwebs dedicated space where people can publicly, on record, call dibs on watches not yet for sale. It would do wonders for market efficiency.
