mclarendude 8,008 Posted May 16, 2020 Yes, it actually does. I bought it from an Indonesian seller. Care to explain the connection?I don’t know how he got it, but I bought it off amd sold it on WUS years ago. I gotta look for what the engravings meant. But, that’s amazing to see that it’s still around and ticking! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

However, I don't believe it was carried out as the watch is difficult to wind via the crown. Await your contact about the script on the rear. Thank you.

He probably got rid of it immediately after the presentation ceremony as he was expecting a Rolex, huh ? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
