FS: Concord (Poor Man's Autavia) GMT *LINK*

For your consideration is an amazing Concord GMT chronograph. This watch was purchased from a man whose father had these watches sitting in a drawer for 40 years. It is investment grade and would make an excellent addition to your collection. Whether you want to have a rare version sitting next to your Autavia GMT, or you think that this is a way cooler (and rarer) alternative, this Concord is an opportunity not to be missed.

The watch is powered by a variant of the Valjoux 72. It is likely a 72C or a 729, but I did not want to spoil the never-been-opened back to look. This Concord keeps excellent time and the chronograph functions work perfectly, with everything resetting to exactly 12. Winding the watch is easy and the pushers operate with the ease that only a Valjoux 72 has.

The dial is a real stunner, in matte black with bright white subdials and and tritium markers. the dial has no scratches, wear or fading. The markers and hands still glow after all these years. The GMT hand is a sight to behold, with a black and red checkerboard pattern and a lumed tip. The bezel is in perfect shape, with factory sharp edges and the original brilliant pepsi insert. The crystal is perfect, as well, showing a sharp edge at the corner and no signs of a careless polishing wheel.

The case on this watch is beautiful, with sharp edges and perfect back and sides. The sunburst finish on the topside is original, with minor scratches from storage. This Concord comes on a mint full-length NSA bracelet, 20mm with end links that can be used on this watch, or can also give your Autavia a period custom appearance. The spring on the NSA-signed buckle is tight, which would again confirm the extreme lack of wear on this watch.

This watch is being offered at $2,500. I accept PayPal and Wire transfer. Buyer pays actual shipping cost, I will make no money from your shipping.
