·Been wearing this Stingray tonight, just back from my Watchmaker late this afternoon.
Extensive repairs to get it back to standard, had a missing crown and smashed in case tube but luckily I had a new OEM Roamer crown and case tube in my stash.
When it was opened by my watchmaker ( these are mono cases) it had a bunch of rust around the winding pinion and gear but luckily I had a parts movement for him to rob though he had to manufacture a click spring, so repaired and serviced and looking like a million bucks with that late 60 70's vibe.
Zero wear through on the case so I am guessing it's sat in someone's drawer for many years, I bought it from a fellow collector who also had it sitting in a drawer for many years in the same condition I received it in.
Never seen a chocolate dialed Stingray before.
