    Nice, congrats to the buyer and seller. Another day and I would have been a buyer. You might want to change the prefix in the title to "sold".

    I was sorely tempted, congrats to both parties. This one checked all the boxes for me for a non beaded bezel. Pleasantly surprised when it passed all the checks.

    Thanks Foo

    It’s honestly one of the nicest examples I’ve come across in an honest original and unmolested condition. The original owner, who was a pilot, used this piece with his son to time flight trips from NYC to London. It was a great piece to own but never received any wrist time and fell last to vintage Rolexs :-/ the new owner will be very pleased and was priced super well based on its cond.

    Best all

    This is my cheat sheet I use on these. *not my work. Helps a lot when on eBay.
