Congrats.
It grows even more if it's really cold in the room.

Seriously, I'm not a vintage guy, but this one really does it for me. Nice score!

I put on the 6x readers I bought on eBay and examined every square mm! I was/am blown away. Taking it in to my watchmaker tomorrow to confirm authenticity and get the bracelet sized.

It's damned near perfect! Took my breath away when I opened the box. Plus it came with both boxes, the booklet, and
the warranty with the punched serial number, dealer name, etc. Just need to get the bracelet sized tomorrow.

Here are a few quickie photos:

















Is it refurb'd or NOS? Very nice.
Tell us more about it!

Dear God! I've never been a fan of GMT's on Jubilee bracelets but that one is very impressive, congratulations! I think the black and gold bezel looks perfect on it as well, wear it in good health!

I do that routinely with any vintage purchases over $1,000 or so. I have no reason to believe there's any problem.

You must have felt like you won the lottery when you opened the box on that.
