..........Grail Enroute...........
I must say that being prepared when an opportunity arises is key ...... I have been quietly in search of this piece for some time. The opportunity arose and I am a happy man....

It is waiting for me upon my arrival tomorrow and I am having a hard time trying to stop thinking about it.................

Can any of my TRF comrades guess what is is????.......

1973 was a good year....

Regards
DavidSW

PS: Pics will follow in 24hrs..........

Come on David, you can't just leave us hanging there?



My guess is a 1019 vintage Milgauss, just because no-one has mentioned it as yet .
Well whatever it is, if its from 1973 it is vintage plexiglass, assuming it is Rolex.
