BLRO incoming!
Wow. What a day. I was saving to buy a 16618 but couldn’t resist this for the time being. Big shout out to Tom Coll, best greyD in the country. My AD was never going to call so this was the only way.
This is brand new, it still had two stickers on it.

I love the bezel, the colours are amazing, better than all the pics I’ve seen.

Thanks for looking!

I paid the same as the top end Chrono24 valuation for a pre owned, but this was unworn. I traded in a TT Daytona so it wasn’t a hard hit at all.

Yeah! It’s a collectible old GTI Anniversary, mint condition. I thought I’d use it to hare through the city traffic, my daily driver is much too big to negotiate the multi story car park.

Beautiful watch! Big congrats.

What year did it originally sell? What year is on the warranty card? I am curious in relation to the whole MK1,2,3, talk.
