·To be totally clear: I'd be as happy for this *not* to sell as to sell it. I love these watches, and have loved them long before it became clear they were what NASA tested. I've had maybe a dozen of these over the years, and this is among the top 2 I've ever had. Again: wouldn't be sad at all to hold onto this.
CASE: 36mm steel case is in excellent, unpolished condition, with the facets on the lugs still well-defined. The crown is signed, the caseback has a few marks but otherwise has very little wear, and the pushers are correct+original. The acrylic is original and has a scuff at 8, but otherwise seems okay. Head-only, no bracelet or strap. Just a fantastic example.
DIAL+HANDS: Flawless, it's white has softened to a nice ivory, and the lume is all original/complete/matching. Again: as nice an example as I've had.
MVMT: The Valjoux 72 is running perfectly, the chrono starts/stops/resets as it should, and the timekeeping is very accurate. That said: the movement is clearly untouched and I believe I was the first to open the caseback since it left the factory 50+ years ago. This should be serviced for regular wear but, again, it's currently running very well.
Price is $2700. Watch+I are in Indiana/USA. Happy to provide more pictures, answer any questions, and offer as many references as requested. Thanks for looking.
