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!!!!!!

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!

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.

As soon as I saw the first photo I knew it was from Andrew as he always uses the same background. That is what we all can agree is a "grail" watch in perfect condition, huge congrats Ken! Now if Andrew can find me a DRSD we can all be happy
