Re: big yes from me
In Response To: big yes from me ()

They look really smart, I was impressed when I saw one in a shop in Yorkshire, big problem was that I wouldn't fit it on my wrist so that's as far as I got with it, thoughts close to NOS as I seen, still had sticker in back and blue sticker/film on the sides. Very cool

: I'd vote a strong yes.

: Some background & context... at first I just collected Heuers.
: Then I branched out a bit to all the 70s classic chronos -
: Zenith, Omega, Breitling, etc. After a while the non-Heuers just
: didn't interest me as much as the Heuers and I sold most of my
: non-Heuers. The only keepers were a couple of Zeniths and a few
: Omegas. The blue TV Zenith remains a keeper and a favourite of
: mine. It's sort of like a cool mongrel child of the Monaco and a
: classic vintage Audemar Piaget Royal Oak (with the built in
: bracelet). I really ejoy it whenever I wear it. My only comment
: would be I much prefer the integrated "coffin link"
: style bracelet, the bracelet is a superb work of art, solid and
: beautifully crafted - so maybe wait till you find one like that
: - I don't think watches with the integrated bracelet are that
: rare.

: My only slight criticism is that maybe the hands are a bit small
: for the size of the watch, but other than that it is just a
: superb design.

: This was one of my surprise buys on ebay - the guy did not even
: mention the box and papers and they just came as a present when
: the watch arrived. You don't really get that anymore. I'm not a
: big one for ephemera, but I just love the old skool computer
: punch card papers, that is just so classic 70's.

: Good luck with the search, completely recommended.
