It's a rare one for sure. That white dial is unmatched. Kind of amusing the double batons now define the model, it was ahead of its time lol

Now THAT is an OP worth all the fuss, I should've picked one up years ago when nobody wanted them!!!

Perfect watch for everyday - only thing I'd like to see is a smooth bezel like on Exp 1.

I had to laugh, I looked inside its box to get exact reference # for it and discovered the box was huge in comparison to my Sub.
Remember I bought it preowned for less than MSRP. Once it was discontinued I had it appraised again, it came out to $8,750.
I only see them for sale again once in a while.

No purple ones out there? If I recall Michelle, you gifted 1 to your sister.

Bass, let’s see your 34 mm discontinued one.

Great shot. Are they all 36mm? They look bigger.

Is green the company colour?
