Hi guys

Two MASSIVE incomings have me rethinking my collection a little. This beauty is therefore on the blocks. It is a long-sold-out LE, it was $2500USD new from the ADs, but prices have normalised lately, so my price, used, already reflects this.

Engine:  the ubiquitous Valjoux 7750 - auto, hack and handwind

Case: might sound big at 46mm wide and 42mm tall, but it wears beautifully on any wrist, I would say

Crystal: no marks, knocks, dents or scratches. Plexi. I have been careful...

Lugs: 22mm. The top one is straight, the bottom one is slightly curved to the case (as is normal for this model OEM)

Caseback: shows the words "Limited Edition", "Swiss Made", "Valjoux 7750" and "3 ATM"

TZ rating: 94 ~ 95%. Tiny scratch at 5 from strap change.

Strap: OEM brown croc style for a wrist up to 9" (unused) OR the OEM strap and the Omega mesh on which it has been mounted since day 1.

Price: $600USD with the OEM strap, or $750 with the Omega mesh as well. Omega mesh has tiny swirlies but is in very good condition otherwise. Mesh sells with this watch or I keep it. Pretty firm on pricing, gents.

Shipping and Terms: it costs a bomb to ship watches from Australia to anywhere else, but I will contribute to the costs and say it will be (less than my cost) at $20USD anywhere in the world "Australia Post with Extra Insurance". Paypal preferred please.

What else do you get? The original black case, black outer box, warranty card, papers, and original transport papers (dated early 2009) as well. Everything as pictured below.

Other info: keeps magnificent time at +3 seconds a day. Accurate day date with well-aligned wheels, sure gets comments! :)

I have loved it. You will, too...

Get back to me by PM if interested please.

Cheers - and enjoy the pics:
