Hi all,
Remembering how Art struck luck at a Pawn shop.
I also made it a point to step into all the Pawn shops which came on my way, on my recent trip to the US.
And guess what? Like many I got lucky too...very lucky.
From a pawn shop somewhere in Florida.
Sticker from the shop still stuck.
The Cal 321
Thanks for looking.
Ed
I could find Pawn Shops like that one - my local one seems to have nothing worth looking at. Nice find. Cheers
OK, it's back to the pawn shops for me!
congrats on this one! J
I'm turning around this Chrono while you just did it... Nice proportions and timeless look. A great watch. Huge congratulations, my friend. Nicolas.
..pawnshops, but it usually takes serious negotiating to get them down to being a good deal. That being said, there are some deals for those who persevere. This one was an excellent find if it was a bargain.
Hi Ed You missed one of the best parts !! What you did not mention and maybe did not realize that 321 is marked ADJUSTED to TWO positions... which was specific to the late 50 and early 60s Seamaster chronographs .... The Speedys at the time where marked unadjusted in comparison... GREAT WATCH , I wish I had one like that ! Good Hunting BIll Sohne
