Icon14 For All You Case/Chamfer Fans 1970 GMT Macro's

I wanted to share some Pics of my 1970 GMT Case with You Guys who appreciate the little details.I love the Chamfers on this Case,They remind me of the Gilt Chamfers.You just don't find many untouched 50 Year old Cases like this anymore.I've never been able to capture Pics like this before but the iPhone X has a great digital zoom.

What a great old watch. I bet it has crossed a time zone or two.

I'd say there will be regret...but I think that Greek guy got a "couple" still under his sleeve.

Beautiful watch op. Congrats on a beautiful honest specimen.
