Beautiful!

Beaumont Miller II · 16 April 2011, 12:25 PM

I promised myself that I would not fall into the trap of checking my computer every half hour since 4 o'clock to see the final reveal, but I couldn't help it. Great looking watch. Congratulations.

conrail · 16 April 2011, 01:59 PM

Beauty Jason! Love that case! Solid!

sfglenrock · 16 April 2011, 02:05 PM

Definitely grail worthy. Congrats! Love the patina.

Watchonisto · 16 April 2011, 02:26 PM

wooowww

jedly1 · 16 April 2011, 03:17 PM

congrats jason ..looks like a lovely example.

a 71 redsub was where my obsession started ....be warned :)

ps. if you ever fancy another look for it ...try a superdomed tropic 19..almost feels like a different watch.

adt · 16 April 2011, 03:39 PM

Congratulations! Looks fantastic on the wrist. Bet you go to bed with it

SS Oyster · 16 April 2011, 04:46 PM

Just look at those chamfers

Sorry about the dust and fingerprints. I was so excited to get a couple pictures, that I forgot to wipe it off

I will reveal a couple pictures a bit later in the day.

Awesome watch, where did you find such a clean example? btw which part of the watch ate the chamfers?

Paul · 11 June 2011, 02:42 PM

... you could play the Rugby World Cup under !.

And a very crisp case - a splendid red sub all round - congrats

DiamondJack · 11 June 2011, 05:03 PM

Very tasty indeed Jason

Enjoy her - many months of wrist gazing and smiling to yourself ahead

swatty · 11 June 2011, 05:37 PM

I don't know which part of the watch "ate" the chamfers, but I am assuming that you mean what is a chamfer. See the bevel on the edge of the lug? That is a chamfer, and it can sometimes predict how much polishing some vintage watches have undergone.

mjclark32 · 11 June 2011, 09:01 PM

Real beauty, congrats!

sorry didn't mean "ate":). Thanks for the explanation.

No problem

To answer your other question, I got it from nbTimes (ben). He is truly a gentleman, and a great seller.

Thanks everyone for your nice comments
