Looks like she just left the factory, beautiful!! From a collector or dealer? Good on you.

According to this list she's right up there in the top two in the desireability ratings:).

Quote:
This is the desirability accordingly:
1. Early 1665, mark O, mark I with or without HEV
2. PPDRSD, Mark I
3. PPDRSD, Mark II
4. Mark II, chocolate dial
5. Mark II
3. Mark III (since I see less of these than even mark II)
4. Mark IV
5. Mark IV transitional
6. Mark V and IV, to complete the sets.

Thanks everyone. This piece popped up and as usual the nice pieces need an immediate decision or else it is sold in minutes. The deal was done quick, had some issues with the end links, crown and crystal but as advised they were small issues relative to the watch and could be oversome.

Really happy with this piece and glad to be able to own it!

Hmm...wouldnt Ken's Mk2 Tropical would look awesome in between the two?

Just joking!
