i bought this watch last year. i expected it to be in bad shape as the photos used by the seller were really bad. it arrived and i saw a jewel in the rough. all i did was clean the exterior and give the bracelet a bath in an ultrasonic cleaner.

the watch maintained its patina of age and i would not want it any better.

thanks again for looking.

in the forum that this particular model is hard to find. i chanced upon this on ebay when nobody was looking. the seller was surprised that it only sold at my bid price. i was just lucky. thanks.

Great catch Marc, that's a beauty- I'm lovin' the Z car as well!!.

yes. i love vintage japanese chronographs and japanese sportscars. i have a 240z thats set up like a safari rally car.

I've got a couple and searched for quite a while to find them. Found them both within a few weeks of each other after looking for a couple of years.

This is the seller's only pic of the watch. I took a chance.



. . . .
And here is what I got




I picked this one up first. It has a nice yellowish patina on the subdial. Just got it back from Ken Setser, who serviced the movement and relumed the hands and markers. This pic was taken before I had the work done.

as reference when i bought this particular one. how i wish i could have mine as great looking as yours but unfortunately i could not find a bezel or a dial or rotating bezel for it. i was told that there were no parts available.

i always wondered how ken was able to restore similar watches.

your watches are an inspiration to me.

Here's mine...



There is a seller on Ebay that sells aftermarket bezel inserts for this model now... you may want to check it out.

Cheers!!

another great looking example. congratulations.

a friend of mine purchased one from a local seller in the same condition as yours. ill tell him i saw yours in the forum so he can see it too.

cheers.
