    Hey guys. I have a very special watch going up for sale today. I was planning on keeping this one long term but some other obligations came up so im going to part with this one after just a few months.

    The 38mm case is in excellent unpolished condition and appears to me to be rose gold. I am including a picture of it next to a yellow gold date at 6 to show the contrast.

    The dial is absolutely gorgeous. All text is perfectly crisp including the blue scale numbers at the very edges of the dial. You can see tiny specs of patina under certain lighting condition but overall super clean dial. The dial furniture is beautiful rose gold with blued seconds and chrono hands.

    The 156 movement is running well and was just serviced by my watchmaker. I will guarantee that it is in good working order for 3 months of the purchase date, if anything goes wrong send it back to me and my watchmaker will fix it.
    One issue is that the chronograph reset button does not pop out all the way after the chronograph is reset. It does pop all he way out when the chrono function is started again. I chose not to have my watchmaker take it all apart again to look at this because it doesn’t effect the functions of the watch.

    The watch comes with a handwritten note from the original owners son detailing the history of the watch and the owners family. The watch originally came on an 18k gold bracelet as seen in some of the photos. I was planning on keeping the bracelet but if you really want the watch with the bracelet we can talk about including the bracelet. Otherwise the watch will come head only. The head only price is $4,000 plus the actual cost of shipping within the US (or $5150 with the original gold bracelet). I prefer not to ship outside of the US but it could be discussed. Payment methods are wire transfer or PayPal plus fees if you have references. Also please note that some of the pictures are taken from the previous listing as that seller was a far better photographer than me. The lower quality photos on the black leather bracelet are mine. If you want more photos of anything or have any questions feel free to message me. Thanks for looking!

    Justin

    Separating that beauty from its original bracelet must be some sort of watch crime. I’m PMing the mods ::bleh:: Good luck with the sale :thumbsup:

    The price for the watch with the original gold bracelet is $5150. Probably should have included that in the first place :thumbsup:

    What's the interlug width? Looks more like 20-22mm from your 18mm strap. Also, what range of wrist sizes will the bracelet accommodate?

    The lug width is 20mm, I just didn’t have 20mm strap to take photos with. I will measure the bracelet when I get home tonight but it is pretty big on my 7 inch wrist it was a little big even on the smallest adjustment.

    The watch with the bracelet measures 8 inches total. On the largest extension should fit at least a 7.5 inch wrist just fine 88E3937A-9729-42F3-9D12-499F29AEBCF5.jpeg
