5513 opinion
I need help!

I'm looking at this watch:
http://www.hqmilton.com/watches/1981...k-iv-maxi-dial

I trust these guys based on RolexForums general opinion but I wanted some unbiased advice. May be a little on the high end for price but love the look and am looking for something with a creamy patina rather than the yellowish.

Thanks!

Just about everyone will be biased when it comes to HQ. Jacek is a trusted seller and discloses everything in his postings. He, and HQ in general, are very trustworthy.

That's what I thought but I'm new to vintage and wanted to double check.

If you do get it remember to post about your buying experience, that would be useful here.

That girl looks lonely in the background. I think I'd drop the squid and buy the lady a drink.
