Rules: Postings must be an ad announcing an intent to sell, buy or trade. Full item description and photo(s) must be posted within the message here, not as links to other websites. Links to online auctions and other sites: Links to online auctions, dealer sites or other listings of items are permitted, but you should be careful to ensure that such listings will comply with our other ChronoTrader Policies. 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"). Photos must be of the actual item for sale in its present condition. No counterfeit or replica products. No post for the same item may be repeated within 7 days, except to lower the asking price. Commercial dealers are limited to three unique posts per day. [More...]
Hello. Up is a Tornek Rayville sterile. Long story short: these are versions of the marked Tornek purchased by the military and issued in Vietnam. When watches failed they were refurbished with a “sterile” dial and new hands. More may have been done to make a watch again ready for combat, but it is generally hard to say. This watch is identical to an originally delivered TR but for the refurbished items. It also has a second hand engraved mu dated 1981. This indicates it was still in the military and recertified anti magnetic. So this is a tritium watch, not PM 147. It is the lowest case number known, unless 0001 falls out of a tree! It was also documented many years ago by the now defunct MilSpec Time website.
Yes these are real deal! Don’t let anyone tell you differently.
I am asking US$65000. Wire only. Watch and I are in Boston MA USA. I welcome a call or visit.
PS. I have an original TR marked dial if the buyer is interested. We can discuss that separately. Thanks. Bill
PPS. I apologize for the lack of photos other than this one. I just can’t figure it out—yes I am stupid;). Here is imgur
