Milgauss 1019 TGTBT?

Found this 1970 1019 on a dealer website and priced around current market for the reference, but the condition is much better than the others available, and it comes with a “full set” including box, papers, service records, and a second bracelet. No photos of the S/N yet, but supposedly coming. Serial is 2,588,XXX. TGTBT?

Looks like a nice example with the square lume markers.

Why TGTBT? Would be looking at around USD 20,000+ for this.

$20,000 USD for this? I’ve searched pretty thoroughly and can’t find a single piece for anything close to that price. If you can find any piece under $25,000 in decent condition, please let me know. Most everything for sale now is more like $30,000 and up.

Same here. The geek in me has coveted the Milgauss for many years.

My skill-sets on them are just basic but that does seem to be a super clean example. Must have had a gentle life under the sleeve of a white lab. coat
