it finally arrived and have to say am even happier than I thought I would be.
Vintage 9411 snowflake in blue...lovely faded bezel all intact. The initial pics I got did not do it justice. I am only its second owner since the early 70's but it barely shows its wonderful age. I am in love....for now....

Gorgeous watch and the blue on that NATO strap is gorgeous.

Thanks Dan. And thanks to you, a speedbird Nato is on it's way across the pond to join it!

Rags · 28 October 2011, 09:02 AM

Congrats Chris. Do you plan on getting an oyster bracelet for it?

tudorlex · 28 October 2011, 09:06 AM

very nice

Alcan · 28 October 2011, 09:09 AM

Looks really good Chris, but the dial and hands don't seem to show any patina consistent with a '70's watch. Has it been re-dialled?

blassy · 28 October 2011, 09:13 AM

It has not - all original and one owner. Dealer (whom I thoroughly trust) bought it from him and he bought it new. Want to keep it on the Nato - love the look....for now.

T5AUS · 28 October 2011, 10:01 AM

Thats a beauty Chris
