Yeah, thanks... I have been watching here, and have an alert set up. Reluctant to go anywhere else for now. I've had great luck with purchases through OF over the years. I have 518 end links it appears. Purchased from No Mercy. Also got a 19mm Fluco from Holben's which is useless without a proper mate.

So a different question… I purchased a very nice brick bracelet AND a nice 19mm band in anticipation of a nice C- which I purchased here (but US Customs had other ideas)… so my question is, where the heck can I find a nice C-case for my lonely bracelet & band??
Very hard in US these days to find a nice one and prices doubled since the tariffs and gold price hikes, pulled all the prices up

Just saw this today, seems like a decent watch priced according to old prices, to me only the crystal stands out immediately, didn't seem original to me, but could be, didn't check the watch in detail

Edit: Actually crystal definitely not original and movement pushed bottom a bit with aftermarket clamps to compensate, but other than that, nice case etc.

well likely someone on this thread sniped it. Appreciate the lead, but someone grabbed it as i was checking out. Kinda disappointed I guess.

An original crystal is like $100+ these days not including labor, so makes more sense to buy a more expensive watch with the original crystal, don't sweat it

My 168.017's 😀

"Fumé" and two Texture dials and brick bracelets 😀

Love the Fume dial! I have been looking for a good specimen for quite some time now.
