Super Nice Patina and a full package too, how cool is it? :-)

Hard to beat!

Wonderful set of vintage.

Nice to see everything still together as a package in these older models. It was serviced in 2020. I believe the original price was JPY ￥270,000 (Or at today's exchange rate JPY to USD about $1,600.)

Not even... I have a Red Sub from 1972/73 whose peice was stuck on the box... 470 USD or something like that.

To say the least. ;)

Striking dual — and full kit — super nice.

A superb patina. Which makes a huge difference.

 
By: amanico : November 26th, 2024-15:22

Yes and this example looks to be in NEW condition! WOW

At least excellent condition.

Wow!

Very nice one, indeed.

A stellar 1655.

It would be hard to resist if such a guy crossed my path…

I could see hundreds of 1655, this one is a crack.

 
By: amanico : November 26th, 2024-15:23

Some crazy yellow patina. This one must have been in a drawer for many years.

 
By: Bill : November 26th, 2024-16:52

I would love to listen to the stories it has to tell...

 
By: amanico : November 26th, 2024-18:10

Gorgeous example Nico 🤩🤯

Thanks for looking, Aquaracer.

100% agree, very special

For those who doubt about vintage watches, this one is very convincing.

 
By: amanico : November 26th, 2024-18:17

Fantastic Piece!!!!!

Love the 70’s Explorer II models. They embody the overbuilt tool watch ethos. Thanks for sharing.

Good description. One illustration:

Super patina and super complete.

Yes, an impressive one, and I saw many! But this one, hmmmmm.
