Hey Graham nice !! I just got this one for my brithday ! today
Hi Graham
I just got this watch in time for my birthday... It is a uncommon Jumbo First Generation Kontiki Date ! from 1960. To be honest I have been looking for any first year Kontiki for a gift for my Dad ( but that is another story). I found him a watch about 19 months ago. That one was a std size non date Kontiki from about 1958. I saw this one for sale and between the jumbo case size approx 38 mm and the early quickset date feature and ( date wheel was black with gilt print type!) what sealed it was that it has its original Gay Freres Kontiki signed bracelet I had to get it .... well the box came just in time for my birthday !!
These are the Sellers pics for now....
movement and case are clean and bright !
and finally with the bracelet !
Good Hunting

Congratulations!
Beautiful watch with an equally imposing bracelet. I am myself hunting lately for what I think to be two unver-valued vintage gems - eventually I'll find the Kontiki and the Polerouter I'm looking for...
agree Both the UG and the Kontiki are classic
Hi Wooster My focus is really on vintage timepieces. i totally agree with on the Polrouter and the Kontikis. here is a Polrouter Super and a Polrouter Sub... and a bumper polrouter chronometre !! Thanks Have a great weekend! Bill Sohne...
Thanks a lot, Bill for these UG pics
Do you have my all time favourite, the UG Polerouter Sub with the Compressor Case??? Impressive collection, my friend! Best. Nicolas
One of my favorite versions of the Reverso, Nicolas . . .
. . . perfect in platinum with a grey dial, although I believe there's a slightly simpler version, too. The Reverso has perfect dimensionality and proportions . . . cordially, Art
You mean this one, Art?
Reverso platinum RDM, in the GT case, while the 70eme is XGT... Very nice, too! Best. Nicolas...

This old thing, because it goes with my instruments
Driving my old car with new watch on. I can't believe I have had this car for 15 years and (a) still running, no problems (b) not yet 36,000 miles (c) how nicely color-coordinated the instruments, watchstrap, and shirt (d) all the dust on the steering col...
Since the lead-off post included equations
How about the Equation of Time? Added bonus is that the EOT is getting close to its max (right now it's at about -15 min). Sorry for the image quality, but it's a difficult piece to photograph -- lots of shiny surfaces both flat and curved. HAGWE, Gary G...
Thanks, Nicolas
Of my watches, this EOT is the one that I would keep over all others. Best, Gary G
It's been the Karree Panodate all week . . .
. . . and probably all weekend, too . . . . . . hanging out with fellow watch nuts on Saturday and a family gathering for Uncle George's 81st birthday on Sunday. Cordially, Art...
Very interesting watch Graham.
If I don't do the math, I would be in a big trouble.. LoL Cheers
A new one, Krieng?
LOL, you're on a dangerous way, my friend... Seems that the Virus already cought you, and that it's too late ! LOLOL Very nice Vintage Sub, my friend... The Patina is stunning, the condition too! Wear it well! Nicolas
Same old patina.
Talking about the virus that spread all around the PuristS, give me more time to think that who to blame... errrr....all PuristS moderators!! LoL Cheers
Intriguing strap on the Panerai, Gazoz . . .
. . . and I haven't a clue as to which species in the animal kingdom it's derived from . . . curiously, Art
