Stunning addition!

I missed out on a BNIB one last year and have been keeping my eye out since!

Love this model and it looks fantastic on you!

Really amazing looking watch. Dot dial is so cool, and I love the bubble crystal.

Agreed, makes them look so vintage. Any concerns about the movement with it being that old? Just curious because I’m tempted to get one (not solid gold) from the same era, but unworn examples are hard to come by. Being unworn I’m guessing the movement should be Pristine on yours, right?

Since mine has been unworn its seems fine plus theres nothing a good service can't fix in a mechanical watch , so here's my take , if you do come across an old out of warranty watch keep room for an overhaul service while negotiating the price and you mostly set for years to come.

That’s a good point, appreciate the good advice. I’m sure yours will be good for a while. Congrats on such an amazing watch! They just don’t make as cool of designs as they used to during the 2005-2010 era.
