Gorgeous! Looks very fat to me, and stunning! I would not change that insert for the world.

thanks john

you know exactly what i was looking for and it had to be the same quality as yours

i'm exceptionally pleased with it and it brings me more joy than any of my pateks or rolexes. well my red sub is another favourite

andrew told me he got it from a collector so my guess is it has been sitting still for decades as it has wear consistent with just a few years. i've looked high and low and not seen any pics of it online

i'm getting PMs and emails from people wishing me congratulations on such a fine watch. i now know what new mums feel like

finding such a piece is what vintage is all about

thanks again for the nice words mate

Here's my 5 mil. 1675. There's a Warhol "Soup Can" that's hanging on my wall captured in the first photo. I just noticed it. Can you see it?

My 1980 16750. Swapped out the pepsi for the black a couple of weeks ago. I usually swap two to three times a year.
