To vintage watches and to making new friends
I thought I share a photo of my three vintage pieces.
1665 mk 1 great white, 5513 mk 1 maxi, 1665 rail. More than watches these to me represent much more. They each have their own story and associated personal connections. Most importantly, they came with their own WIS connections and friendships. A sincere thank you to each involved. Enjoy my mediocre photography!

Thank you for the kind words.
Some of them should look familiar. Two were listed on the forum and the third was sourced from a trusted seller and member. Related to the "needing some red" ... I have a 1680 with a legit Red Service Dial. I love it but might sell it as it doesn't get the wrist time it deserves. Cheers! Steve |

Steve,
The three look great, especially the new rail dial! Thanks for the kind words. I'm happy my old Maxi made it into your collection and even happier we've struck up a friendship. |

Hi Chris.
It's a 5.5 million, so about 1978. Quote:
