new arrival!

limited edition eterna heritage LE 1973.
i always wanted one of the IDF army issued ones but they are so commonly faked or manipulated and impossible to find in good condition. Then one of these came up .. the re-issue limited edition and it was brand new.. doubt we will see many as only 1973 produced.
Arrived this morning so apologies for crap pictures

That looks so good. I love the bracelet. How heavy does it feel? It looks pretty big and hefty. Anyway, nice addition

Heavy compared to a rolex but not heavy once you wear it for a while, pretty comfortable actually.
