greg_r 83 Posted March 18, 2009 Well, it's taken quite a while, but I think we've finally found a sub that beats John's legendary 897s What can I say? I've not posted a link for fear that all of you will rush to buy one before I get there. Simply awesome: look at the beautifully trimmed CGs and the perfect pearl. Nobody will ever know you're wearing a fake - this is genuine Swiss AAA grade 440L steel goodness! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
trailboss99 997 Posted March 18, 2009 OMG , OMG! You lucky, lucky fella you! I am green with envy. You simply can not keep it a secret we all want one. Col. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
KinCaidk 0 Posted March 18, 2009 What a great find. It must cost a fortune though My best bet would be $550-600 Edit: Maybe even higher. Didn't notice the milgauss seconds hand and the beautiful datewheel. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Didn't notice the milgauss seconds hand and the beautiful datewheel. Not only that - have you seen the quality of finish on that bezel. That blue paint must have been applied with a chimpanzee's bum just like the original! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
trailboss99 997 Posted March 18, 2009 You didn't notice the MG second hand???? This is one of the tells that screams "nice watch!" Don't tell me you have not noticed the real classy gold 1/4hr markers either? Col. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

trailboss99 997 Posted March 18, 2009 Super star? Mate this must be God's Rolex! Either Him, His Son (well, he was a super star in the 70's wasn't He?) or maybe Bill Gates (he actualy rules the world you know). No one tell Dave123 about this, he'll buy them all just to keep them from us meer mortals. It's just soooo beautyfull! Gearge (WM9) must be pissed. His trade is gunna vanish over night once word gets out. Where's John? He is Da Man on things of such rare beauty and I want his oppinion. Col. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

jameo210369 0 Posted March 19, 2009 Wow, that is good for you, I remember this time last year you bought a watch a week. Love the new site, well done mate. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
greg_r 83 Posted March 19, 2009 Wow, that is good for you, I remember this time last year you bought a watch a week. Love the new site, well done mate. haha - well, it's been an expensive few months, been spending on too many other things so I slowed down a bit. The wife bought me a 40-capacity watch box for my birthday last year and I'd have filled it by now if I'd kept up the same pace lol... The site has developed a bit since you were last here - glad you like the new stuff. Looks like we'll pick up our 500th member sometime over the next few days.
