First vintage has arrived!
Just arrived today. 1970 Red Sub with Mark IV dial. Everything looks great, small chip in the crystal but no biggie. Going to wear it for a few days then off to ABC for a tune up!

Thanks everyone!! No touch up just looks that way in the pic. It is all original, dealer I purchased it from bought it from the original owner. The only thing non-original is the bracelet which is the 93150.

The lugs look nice, and from what I can see of the CGs they look great too. I see a couple blemishes, but can't tell if it is the crystal or the dial. I suspect it's the crystal. Congrats......seems like you got a good one.

Your right on the money. Crystal has two blemishes one of which is a chip. Going to have to replace the crystal but not touching the case. Thanks very much and appreciate the input.

Thanks bud. Not sure about the next, I have been wearing a modern Daytona for a while which is my only other watch. Had my eyes on a red for some time and picked this one up. Not sure if anything else is on the horizon soon but I have said those words before!
