Latest addition.

French Marine Nationale Tudor Submariner 9401/0 snowflake from 1975 with MN papers. The first year of the blue dials and a rare issue year with 4 digit stamped cases.

Stunning Jason. Simply stunning.

I have a real soft spot for blue snowflakes. I've always resisted as I would fear another marque to collect would make my slope even slipier!

Anyone 40 this year and wants to treat themselves?

I've a 1970 Rolex Submariner original watch with lovely yellowed markers and hands. Nice and original with punched papers and coffin box.

Rare to find these days in this condition with punched papers to boot.

Very nice, I have the same (1967), does anyone know where you can get the little 'nipple' (sorry couldn't think of another term) that goes in the 'pointer' on the bezel, mine popped out

you can get them second hand from collectors/dealers

good ones are circa £100-150

Always like when this thread reappears - gives me an excuse to post a couple of updates.

Recently acquired this very nice Heuer Montreal PVD in stunning condition. The PVD on these usually wears badly but this one is a beauty.

This is another quite special Monaco on it's way to me. I've purchased it from the original owner in California who bought it new when he was at college in 1971. It's a 1133G wih the double grey dial and comes with it's original NSA bracelet.

Not great pictures yet but will have soon.

This pic hows the lovely original handset, dial and lume to good effect.

Also picking up a very nice 3 dial Heuer Carrera from 1965 tomorrow!
