These were very unpopular back in the day, some even swapped out the dial and bezel inserts to black.
RB rocks..

That watch in my home would put a serious hurt on the other watches' wrist time. Beautiful!

Think mine is from the mid/ late 70s., must check some time. When I saw Clint Eastwood wearing his in Firefox the quest was on to find mine. It's a keeper. Think it cost me 2k at the time.

Mine is a 72' or so. Definitely a keeper at that price.
