Thanks! It's from '67 and I was born in '81...so I unfortunately am not the original owner but whoever owned it originally rarely wore it and kept it meticulously clean. It's the newest addition to my collection and only a few weeks old, :)

Superb set. I think my 1803 outer and inner box are similar with yours. Mine is 1969 if I remember correctly.

Congrats to find this beauty

Thanks! Would love to see a picture of yours! I had never seen an outer box from this era. Its one of my favorite pieces of the set.

Instead yours is Super set even with sales receipts.

I will try to find time to dig out mine and take picture of the white outer box. But I pretty sure that the outer box is same as yours. There is also black sticker on the box which indicate the black dial Color.
