Vijay-
Thanks my friend!!! Appreciate it. I love your 5510 as well--amazing example and a story second to none!! What a rare find my friend!!!

Paulie 50 · 31 January 2011, 08:30 AM

Fantastic watch Ken, my first love has always been for subs, as a new poster, who does not know anyone on the forum, i would love to know your personal favourites, and how you began your collection, i'm sure it would make fascinating reading for newer members like myself.

Thanks guys--perhaps someday!! Appreciate the compliments! I have been fortunate to find great gems in people's collections that they were willing to part with. I guess it is all in the timing-lucky on my part!

Racer X · 31 January 2011, 08:39 AM

Wow Ken, it doesn't get any better than that! Congrats on a beautiful watch.

Question for Vijay and Ken,
Would you have these watches serviced? Especially considering the mint condition of the dials.
Ken,
Do you have the papers to with that mint watch?

HL65 · 31 January 2011, 10:19 PM

Don-
As for service--not unless it stopped working. If it isn't broke-no need to fix! As for papers--no. I know history-it was bought from a solid collector who had it in his personal collection for last 8 years-he bought it off original owner who never wore it.

YetiBiker · 31 January 2011, 11:00 PM

Don, ditto what Ken stated. No papers on mine. I purchased from original owner and know his history well. Have plenty of photos with him wearing watch.

HL65 · 31 January 2011, 11:04 PM

Vijay my firend--I heard you can fly with yours on--Is this true??

HL65 · 2 February 2011, 03:03 AM

That Nato is rockin' Ken! I like it! Now, if you want to get rid of that tired old Big Logo clasp, I will be more than happy to fly up there and take it off your hands!!!! :)
