Was browsing and noticed Mike has a MilSub listed on his website for a 'very significant price tag' (the tease..!)
Also a couple of Comex models.

That milsub is a beauty. Wonder how much the asking price is. So is that 5513 comex.Quote:

Off to pass some time drooling over those special subs =)
Some serious watches there.
Is this another signal that the market is topping out?
Always serious watches there. Not a sign of anything.Quote:

Reasonable price on the Explorer 1.

Would have that any day over a Richard Millie of similar value.Quote:

I'm not sure if you're being sarcastic or not but I agree. It's plain, simple and clear. No unnecessary, showy JS and CSS claptrap that gets in the way of the information. I genuinely wish more websites were like this.Quote:

Years ago there was that photo!
Would you be so kind as to say what Jedly’s instagram account name (handle?) is? I’m not on instagram but would consider creating an account to see his watches. I bought my 5513 off him over 10 years ago.Quote:

But then I'm practical, not old. :-)
Wow! That is gorgeous. Very interesting reading up on it. If i had one i’d never dare wear it.Quote:

That’s one hell of a dial.Quote:

To find one full stop is rare , to find one in great original condition like this makes it one of only a handful known in the world .
The quarter Arabic 369 dial is the only design that was used on 6200 , and after that it was only used sparingly on Submariners , seen on a few 6538 early subs , a handful of small crown subs , some specialist military dial subs , and then later in the 1960’s on a some small batches of crown guard submariners for the uk markets .
