The dial on this watch is absolutely breathtaking and one of the best that I've ever seen! The serial number is 204,XXX and dates from 1970 so, one of the early examples of the 1163. This model is also referred to as the 'Derek Bell' model. Watch comes with a period correct Champion bracelet that is not original to the watch however, the bracelet is in wonderful condition and is pretty rare in its own right. All chronograph functions work without ANY issues and all hands reset to '0'. Watch runs exceptionally well and keeps great time. I do not know the service history of this watch however, the case looks unpolished to me and the crystal may also be original to this watch. $4,500 plus actual shipping. PayPal accepted but buyer pays the 3% fee (unless you use the 'friends and family' option). I have done numerous transactions on this forum and I can provide solid references. Please e-mail me at: [email protected] with any questions and I will answer promptly. As usual, I offer a 3 day return privilege if watch is not as described. Thanks TRF for the space and thank you for your time.

So cool!
