Didn’t make the trade, but....lNCOMING!

No...I didn’t make the trade I proposed to the forum a few days ago, but I was presented/offered this beauty by a forum friend/trusted seller.
Couldn’t resist and took the plunge! Very happy:) love the fit and class of this piece!

Huge congratulations on this. Looks fantastic! Glad it did not come at the expense of trading some of those heavy hitters you were proposing.

None of this silly "trade" nonsense

Case looks nice. Is it just me or is the 6 o'clock end link needing some attention though?
No, just the angle I believe. It sits flush, same as 12’oclock side

Damn, I LOVE that!

I don't usually subscribe to the TRF-wide answer of "get both; keep both" etc., but a vintage watch is so different from a modern DD or Daytona that I think it applies here.

Hope you enjoy it. You are tweaking your collection into my fantasy collection, one by one.

Stunning! I've never held one in the flesh, but I assume it's as breathtaking as the pics! I'm a huge sucker for vintage
