Finally. Congrats for your new acquisition.
The case is quite scratched-up, maybe some polishing is due, but I think the glass look clean. nice.
The case back is a ballet dancer? I wonder what is the story behind that.
If you don't mind, can you please PM me the damage? thanks.

Cannot believe my luck...before i can make-up my RO, it already belongs to Mr Tan from Balik Pulau.  Feeling not satisfied, i browse thru Ebay at 1045pm and out came another RO with golden bezel from Hkg.  This current one looks a lot better, will show it to you another 2 weeks time :Cheers:

Thank you for your well wishes Bezelnut....Best part is, the second one also he wants...now, it makes me wonder, whether i put in the correct tag or not ?  Like selling "Eu Char Kuay" :Laughing_on_floor:

Ya, I already know the price range. I guess your PM will surprise Calvinong as it had surprised me.  ;)

One question, why do you flip the SS but keep this gold dial? They seems to be near identical condition. Or is the photo not doing the watch it's justice?

Haha...good question...actually i love a bit of gold on the watch, some sort like two tone and the SS got too many deep scratches, which i scared cannot be restored.  Anyway, hoping for another one to "pop" out and replace this one.  The pictures really does not do justice cause it looks great wearing outdoor.

Haha. Your love for gold watch is infamous now, very obvious from your impressive vintage collection. Maybe you had too many two tone vintage already, my friend. Try Ubah la.  ;D

Why not do the watch some justice and show outdoor shots? I know you want it.  :laugh: :laugh:
