I only know of 3 other ones but they all have refinished dials. As we all know original is king!!
Absolutely amazing A!!! A true rarity!! Thanks for sharing with us! Just don't get to see old original quality pieces like that...

A weekend WRUW is a great idea for the vintage section! We should have it every week as you guys have such great watches.

Too hot to wear anything but rubber.

Anything at all is too much!

I was in "uniform," yesterday in a small room with out electricity (NO A/C!) and shed five pounds in water loss.

My wallet was afloat in my pants pocket!

I toiled to defeat this formidable foe:

Fire AND burglar resistant...


Defeated the bastid through a 3/16" hole (±5" from the face to this target)...


OH, you mean watch wise?

Beautiful watches, everybody!

Nikos, that bullhead is an absolute stunner. Hope to have the blue/ black version someday.

Going with an Austin Powers vibe today, thanks to my friend Chris [belk7].

Great watches guys. I especially enjoyed seeing the non-Rolex vintage. Think I may need to do some research on vintage Seiko. Really cool!
