Simonix 8,660 Posted December 10, 2020 Managed to bag one of these. It took a long time to find, and then even longer for the post! Hfac 243 J series with T dial and patina dot markers. Runs sweet, HE valve is straight, and even the rep rubber strap is very good and soft. Very happy! 6 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jonnybaws 5,280 Posted December 10, 2020 Is that NOS? From a TD or did some fool decide to part with it? Either way, blinding pickup, congrats! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Although the gens are all different as well, as tritium ages differently on every watch. luckily this 243 is a bit better than my 064.... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Glaude 1,615 Posted December 10, 2020 Just a bit of warning : Those are coming, usually, from a banned guy on RWI because he tried to massively profit and hide that profit to staff. They are coming from the H Factory raid that happened a few years ago and they are coming on the market at very very high price, even for rare stuff. Be careful from who you buy from and don't fall for the very rare trick 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Even if you did, there's nothing wrong with that as long as "caveat emptor" apply, but preferred to warn other reading your thread, there's a direct source for them, but it's very hard to get them from here as that source (the only one in reality) is not to keen on international shipping.
