Dream watch
Found this yesterday at a reputable pawn store in the 4 digit range. I could not be more happy; the glide lock is superb as is the blue color.

You are assuming. I have learned to not assume anything in life. Better to ask and verify, than to be wrong in my assumptions.

Assuming what?

You said if it were white gold, it would not have PCLs or sunburst dial...the white gold sub has PCLs.

Details...know them before you call someone out or attempt to

I was a little worried without box and papers but I always wanted this two-tone. One cannot appreciate the blue until it is on the wrist. Can't see ever going back to the pre-ceramic bracelet.

Well Congrads,

Nobody seemed to notice that the 4 digit range (max $9999) would be highly incompatible with the WG sub??? Such a walk-in find would be the equivalent of winning the lottery!
