Welshwatchman · 25 February 2011, 12:08 PM

I've just seen this thread.

What an example, Ken! just outstanding.

If there was one watch that I'd melt my small pile into, it would be this exact model and PN dial variant.

Not that they ever come along in this sort of condition, well almost never.

Welshwatchman · 25 February 2011, 12:10 PM

..... oh and a yellow card for allowing me to ever call you Connor.

HL65 · 25 February 2011, 12:17 PM

And Thanks much my friend!!! Appreciate the kind words!!!

skyedog · 25 February 2011, 05:45 PM

swatty · 25 February 2011, 06:58 PM

Top Stuff, I love these threads with 40+ year old watches that are like new

Maybe one day I will find one

oztimelord · 25 February 2011, 08:52 PM

Super Nice!

Amongst us we are building quite a Daytona collection.

HL65 · 25 February 2011, 09:07 PM

Much thanks all!!! Appreciate it!!! Again--without Andrew Shear--I could never have found such a crazy example!! I searched for long time--was hard to even find bad examples! So -- Big thanks to Andrew--He is the man!!!

Ps--Rene---You are right about that!!!

Lol-x · 25 February 2011, 09:11 PM

It took me a minute to realise that you actually got this watch Ken!

I thought you were just posting it to show what it was like.

I missed you getting a MilSub too..

You are a difficult guy to keep up with....

I have had many occasions to ponder over an absolutely stunning Rolex Explorer II 1655 Tiffany dial that Sheartime had for sale, but I didn't see until it was sold.

it was a dream!!

Congrats!!!

HL65 · 25 February 2011, 09:18 PM

Steve--thanks my friend!!! Andrew is the man!! I am very thankful--believe that!! Cheers!

dsio · 25 February 2011, 10:57 PM

Wow... by the looks he must have found a dealer that forgot to ever sell it in the first place, even the folded link bracelet looks tight.

So is the Killy-hunt thread going up soon? That's the one I'm really looking forward to seeing! =D
