Nice piece you have there!

The “curse” of a NOS watch is exactly this...never to be worn
Its preserved in the NOS condition because the purpose it serves is of a pure investment and not of a timepiece anymore

It’s an interesting dilemma isn’t it. I guess it’s not a Watch but an ornament to some respect (although no doubt never displayed)

If WW3 broke out tomorrow (topical) and we were all doomed at the hands of nuclear weapons flying about people can rest easy they kept their mint watches unworn

Let’s hope WW3 doesn’t break out tomorrow so wristwatches can still be worn,pampered,polished or not polished,kept hidden etc. and for the rare NOS specimens to keep changing hands in absurdingly high prices.

Haters are gonna be haters eh? I’m not hating on anything or anyone...that actually makes no sense at all...you come here asking for people’s opinions on what such a piece would bring yet you say this..

Call me a skeptic, but If you bought such a watch surely you know what it would be worth or at least have a pretty good idea, no? If you actually have the watch then why not post some pictures ? Strange ...
