...A grail (at least for me)...



...arrives at the not utterly Sino-centric AMCHPR...it's a 1977...











...and my sincere thanks to Derek Dier of Watchestobuy (Canada) who listed the piece and provided this photo for his listing:



I use that photo because I don't want to open the piece and because Derek (who has supplied, among others, the folks at TV's Mad Men with vintage watches) was a pure treat to deal with.

Looks great Ron! Enjoy your new Rollie.

Thanks...I'm enjoying it big-time :-)

Thanks, Mortuus.

I still kinda have my eye set on a vintage two-tone Turn-o-graph if I ever see one within reach that has a spotless bezel. Maybe someday.

Congratulations, Ron. That is fantastic! It appears to be in beautiful condition. What a great addition to your huge collection.

Thanks, Mike. I'm grateful to be able to own it, and very grateful for the kind words from you and everyone.

Any one's "grail"...a beauty, congrats.

Thanks, Eddie. I'm sure to many folks it's just an old watch, but I certainly don't take my good fortune for granted.

For one it isn't just an old watch it's a beautiful vintage Rolex that should be cherished. I am by no means a watchmaker but am starting to really like great old movements and their inner workings.
