路Speaking of 5.1m Radials, here鈥檚 one that popped up for sale on TRF from a dealer yesterday. It鈥檚 a classic turn and burn deal.
This watch first appeared on another dealers IG with a very nice MFF, Jubilee bracelet and no Red Hand. Both watches have the same dial and case. The case is extremely weak and dial has its issues with the lume plots at 11 and 12 o鈥檆lock. Hands also appear to have been swapped by current dealer.
This is becoming comical at this point, if you鈥檙e a dealer, wouldn鈥檛 you at least send this to LAWW for a case refinish to justify the asking price? The current seller has an affinity for inserts, so I鈥檓 sure that鈥檚 where he鈥檚 making his profit. Lastly, the Red Hand looks suspect to me, given everything thats been identified with the watch.
This is the second Radial with a story that has changed hands multiple times with multiple dealers in the last 6 months. I guess there is a sucker born every minute.
I love this hobby.
So the journey of this Radial continues as its now for sale by yet another distinguished dealer for $28K. This dealer was caught up in a scandal a few months ago in selling a relumed Gilt dial as original only to have been called out by @watchknut.

路OK , so the Sub has a page and I thought it was about time that the GMT got a thread too. So I'll start with my 1675 Root-beer from 1970. I know there are several more GMTs lurking on the forum.
Today, Modern bezel
Older faded silver brown gold faded bezel.
Original faded bezel.
Here's Clint wearing my watch馃榿
Very damned pretty. The new ones are awesome as well. The older Rootbeers don't seem to have the third time zone ability--none of them were GMT IIs.
