Wow. I love the '4-liner' that I've never seen before. The condition is pretty amazing as well!

Hard to believe such a thing exists.

Those do indeed look like factory bevels on the lugs.

The word that comes to mind is: Wow.

That could plausibly be the watch that Fleming had James Bond wear in the novels.
