New to me NWA

I went vintage for the first time today. Turning 40 this year, was thinking about the options out there but then thought why not a birth year watch. Never purchased vintage before so hope I did okay. Love it so far.

Well done congratulations!
A great piece that you can also easily change out inserts for a different look altogether ;)

Beautiful, with lug holes excellent.

Does it come with a SEL, I didn't think that GMTs have SEL but I could be wrong.

A very versatile watch.

Enjoy.

Very cool. Just out of curiosity, what should someone expect to pay for a stellar example of a watch like this? Meaning everything is original and in great condition?

Enjoy!

They say it’s original but who really knows right?
