In addition, we request that sellers linking to online auctions or listings offer some benefit or accomodation to ChronoTrader readers (for example, some discount or an undertaking to end an auction early, to keep a watch "in the family").

Here's a very rare opportunity to grab a beautiful 1655 Freccione showing just light signs of wear, with the fullest set you'll ever find (including the original sales receipt ) and with provenance from the venerable Mike Wood to boot. The case has been polished but is still in great shape with nice sharp Rolex bevels, and you'll see from the photos below that both the dial and the handset are in fantastic condition. All numbers are clearly visible, as you'd expect.
An 8.09m serial with Mk 5 dial and Mk IV bezel, it comes with:
Inner and outer boxes
The punched Rolex Certificate of Authenticity
Two service certificates
The three booklets (including the rare "Rolex Explorer" booklet)
The original sales receipt for £560 (!) from F A Buck of Stoke-On-Trent
A later receipt from Mike Wood/The Old Watch Shop
A valuation certificate for £16000, also from The Old Watch Shop
The chronometer seal
The calendar
The wallet.
Well I did say it was a full set :)
Mike sold the watch a year or two ago for £14500, but I'm now looking for just £14000 including fully tracked and insured delivery. I have over 100 positive references for watch transactions and am known on most major watch forums.
Returns will be accepted should the watch prove to be anything other than authentic, provided I am notified within 3 days of receipt.
And the money shot...
