Great find and glad you got it.

Papers > box, you can always buy a box on the secondary market (recommend grey, been on the wait list > 1yr at AD for new old-stock box, with purchase history)

Congrats.

Most computers can save a jpg or other file at both pixel size and file size to meet the software parameters. The forum doesn't resize large files.

Cheers Stan. Its a belter. I remember from 20 odd years ago now. They so light. I had a Seamaster and my GMT at the time. The weight difference was noticeable.
Love the watch. I can now sleep easy

Watch Out is a play on words: I need a shout "Out" for my "Watch".

This Board is specifically for questions related to purchases/inquiries about a particular watch a member is interested in.

It is envisioned as a single place for members to go, and for experts to have, a single place, to evaluate and provide advice to a potential buyer.

The General Discussion board is for general discussion. Folks do like to lump everything under that board, but it becomes so crowded we need to break things up so a good thread doesn't end up on page 10 and never looked at.

Surely the documentation is the key. A box is a box for me. Would prefer the original but its not there

I could find an original box in five minutes. I wouldn’t worry about the box. It’s the least important factor on this gmt.
