Found this on sale locally. Is it collectible/interesting/real/worth $25?

thanks,
Adam

At the very least I'd say worth the $25 just for its interest value alone.

That's what I thought. Could be the start of a cool project watch.

Exactly what I was thinking Sir

It's for a 6532, which was also the ref. of the original Deepsea, I believe. Possibly this is pre-Submariner anyway...early 1950s?

Here's the back.

Grab it, cool to have either way to have even if you never use it.

Found one in the Dowling & Hess book. A forerunner of the Sub indeed, although this one is Precision not Chonometer.

Old Expat Beast · 2 July 2014, 09:02 PM

Closer.

ExplorerChris · 2 July 2014, 09:34 PM

For sure it's pre Sub
If it were me for the $25 I'd snap it up

andromeda160 · 2 July 2014, 11:08 PM

Pick it up Adam! If you ever want to get rid of it let me know :D

Better go get it soon it's now on Fleabay!

It always was. I meant that the seller was local to me. I have read some negative stuff about him before and his feedback is less than perfect, but I can visit his store if the sale does not go well.

Price going up. It's here if anyone interested. http://www.ebay.com/itm/271536113142...84.m1426.l2649
