Incoming . . . after nearly 4 years . . .

Looking for almost 4 years to get a XXXX with a specific dial . . .

I missed another one just 3 weeks ago at VRF . . . . the third one I have seen in my life

But . . . I found another one 2 days ago

Money will be wired tomorrow

Watch should arrive at a TRF friends place (thanks once more my friend ;-) and he will ship it to me

Little bit complicated . . . but the only solution . . .

Getting closer

YG and vintage . . . these are correct

Now the right model number . . . !

It's nothing that special but I (I repeat . . . I) only seen it once on TRF from a Brazilian member but his is RG . . . . about 3 years ago . . .

But there must be more out there . . . just want to know how much . . .

I just fell in love with the dial when I saw it . . .

I have been trying to source one but the one I found a few years ago was sold the day before I noticed it . . .

Later there was one on Ebay . . . . but at a really steep price and Ebay . . .
And at that time I was still in Belgium so with the taxes added . . . of import and our normal 21 % rate . . . going to a total of 31 % . . . .

Than I found the same dial . . . . sold . . . again to late . . .

And know I found a complete watch last Friday with bracelet and the dial I love

Anyone who wants to see a pic of it . . . . got some . . .

Is it an 1802 Day Date? Don't know how rare these are but not as common as the 1803.

18k 1601? I recognize the grey background of the pics, it's coming from a great seller.

So as you could read I find one finally . . .

Must be something done by the Gods or Aliens (probably the last in my case) since my BD is arriving in 9 days . . .

I have some seen passing by since I was always an hour or a day late . . .

And last Friday I was just surfing the net and noticed this one

So I shot a mail and within 5 minutes I received answer and we closed the deal

Now waiting to get it on my wrist !

Hopefully by the end of the week
