I just had the privilege to buy this one from the original owner. A old man who bought it 1984. It came with full set.

What do you guys think about it?

Me, I’m in love with it.

Love it. Looks similar to mine from the same time period so makes me feel good as I didn’t buy from the original owner. That’s a great privilege these days

Such a nice reference in great condition! Even with a sticker on its case back!
The previous owner must have babied the watch.

Wow, it seems to be in meticulous condition! Great purchase and what a feeling it must be being able to acquire it from the original owner!
