The 88 is a great looking watch but look for one with box, papers and straps i.e. a complete set.

Josh, you flip watches like most of us change our Alan Whicker's and when you want to flip it (probably two hours after you receive it), you will have a cow of a job to move it without the box and accessories.

You trust the seller, fair enough, but why would he want to keep the box and accessories? That doesn't make a lot of sense to me. Walk away and buy a complete set elsewhere.

Good luck
