Thanks John!

I got a new lense today so I took a few close ups of that "butter squash" patina

Congrats on the purchase!

You found a great seller with AG. He is is great guy.
And he made that snowflake look so cool when he put on
that T39 superdome from a sea-dweller. It gives the dial a look like no
other.
And that patina is one of the best colours I've seen.
Very glad it is still around so we can enjoy more pictures of it.

Enjoy,

Jeff

Thanks Jeff, your are right AG is a great guy! Yeah at first I was a little hesitant about the T39 but now I just love it I will have a back up Tropic 19 for safe keeping. When I get my new camera I will take some more shots

That is a beauty...was it one of those things you just stumble upon? complemented a man on a nice watch and turned into he was willing to part ways with it?

The watch is amazing - the super dome the patina - wow. The black and gray NATO - the gray stripes really blend into the bezel. If you could find a black NATO with a "butter squash" stripe down the middle - that would be beyond amazing.

Wear it with pride.

You should know the owner of that watch was a Master Chief Torpedoman on a submarine according to the engraving. That means your Tudor submariner was owned by a submariner. You got a GREAT watch!!

Congratulations! May your new watch mark many happy hours of your life!

Look at the size of the domed plexi. Combined with the patina, it looks awesome.

That's just amazing!

Here I thought my 7016 was yellow but yours is just better in every way. Mine is more pale and only has the lower superdome. Big congratz, an amazing watch you have

Here's my -68
