I have for sale one of my prized watches. I am selling because I have come to a situation where I have too many watches and well something has to go right now. I am trying to keep only the watches I can wear and feel comfortable about not messing them up. I guess the burden of history and keeping it perfect condition weighs too much on me with vintage watches like this one, where only a few hundred were made in this model.
So here it is:
