Picked this guy up today! The original Rivet bracelet needs some attention and will be going to MY tomorrow. Threw it on my 93160 from my triple 6 so I could wear it tonight

JUST IN!!

The ultra rare 1530 date with original bracelet. 😀. Maybe only 500 to 1500 ever made.

I love that it looks like an oyster quartz but it's not.

Thanks Jacek and the boys over at HQ Milton.

Thanks my friend! It was a nice one. Absolutely pristine and untouched. Hated to let it go, but we can't keep them all!!
