1979 and it looks like new. Quite a watch. Pick up in Sydney only? Price of watch plus return flight plus hotel plus meals...oops, sorry about that just reread it and it's Paypal or pickup in Sydney only. Didn't know Paypal could save one so much money and time.

It might just be the photos, but the hands look a little lighter than the tritium on the dial. Also, I'd confirm the date wheel is brushed silver/metallic. Looks very nice! Good luck!

The watch looks pretty nice and I didn't see anything glaring that would be a red flag.

Looks good, clean dial and fat case that can take a cutting

Welcome to the Forum!

Excellent looking time piece. I wish it had a picture of either the model or a partial of the serial number on the case..
