I ordered through chrono24 and from payment I think it took 8-9 days. No customs. Pretty sure I saw if you order from Formex they guarantee no extra charges Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Cruising and getting paid is good my friend. Mucking around with flammables at the moment. Waiting for it all to set. ..... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Many other brands are doing much less for 3 times the price 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Last two pics show the extendable clasp, gives you about 4-5mm extra for those hot afternoons. Off work now, Victorinox strapped to the wrist 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hey Del- Would you mind getting me (or the group) some detail photos of the case? Things like the chamfers in particular, as I believe you mentioned getting this beauty NOS? So many (most) from this era have been repolished at least once, and often the original chamfer on the lugs is just all wrong. Thanks in advance! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I certainly don’t mind taking some pics but this was not NOS so has been refurbished/polished at some point. In light of this, are pics still of interest?

J!m 289 Posted August 11, 2020 Still of interest to me, yes. I have some photos of never polished (original owner since new) 90’s GMTs but they might be different, though I doubt it. you can PM them if you are more comfortable with that. Totally up to you.
