Wow...Ken! That is not something I've seen. An absolutely gorgeous watch. Love the detail on the dial. And to top it all the condition is incredible for a 40 year old watch. What an amazing find!!!!!!

You found two grails in two weeks? Not just any run of the mill grails either

Congratulations my friend

Can't wait for the wrist shots

Thanks Paul!!! The Milsub came from Eric Ku and Andrew Shear was working for me on this one for months--wanted a perfect example-wasn't easy to find!! I actually locked down the Milsub a while ago as well--it was at Bexley getting movement serviced-They had it there for almost 5 months or so!!It is very hard to find these in USA--Eric is also one of the very best at hunting down pristine pieces! I highly recommend them both!! Appreciate it my friend!! You are a class act!

Beaumont Miller II · 24 February 2011, 11:33 AM

I don't think that I have seen a nicer PN Daytona. To find one with screw down pushers with box and papers is truly a remarkable treasure. Congratulations Ken and thanks for sharing. Your right about Andrew. I too have purchased from him, and he is a pleasure to work with.
