This is very RARE circa ref. 7159, 1972 TUDOR MONTE CARLO chronograph by ROLEX. This iconic watch has reached "cult status" around the world and is as collectable as the Paul Newman Rolex Daytona; with much fewer to be found. Its' massive case; measuring 40mm. and 12.5mm. thick in stainless steel, is in excellent original condition, and (of course) maintains all original ROLEX parts. This stainless steel bezel is the original version; not the different Rolex factory replacement that most find on these watches. The Valjoux 234 manual winding movement was overhauled and cleaned with all functions operating perfectly. The cyclops crystal is original ROLEX. We purchased this watch from the original owner years ago (from Winnipeg Canada) and we replaced the damaged ROLEX bracelet with a thick OYSTER variety with fliplock, so you don't lose it while wearing. The original dial and hands on this watch are the BEST we have ever seen. The detailed pictures say it all. The original and correct inner and outer boxes with brass insert, both blank guarantee papers, original instruction booklet are included. We added a correct 1970's TUDOR hang tag to complete the watch. This is the finest and most complete Tudor Monte Carlo 7159 Chronograph that you will find presently online anywhere in the world. Bankwire only please. We have priced this very reasonably. This watch is sure to keep increasing in value. Bankwire only please.

$16,750.

This is a RARE, and HUGE vintage, circa 1967 BREITLING NAVITIMER stainless steel measuring a whopping 49mm. across...THE LARGEST VINTAGE BREITLING SIZE ever produced! This case is in excellent (unpolished) condition with all the wording crystal clear on the rear. Usually these caseback are worn bare. The original BREITLING logo winding crown is present. The manual winding venus 178 movement is considered the best made by BREITLING... this one fully cleaned, serviced with all functions operating flawlessly. There is an automatic winding version with the date at 6:00. The automatics are more common and not as desirable, due to the look of the 2 register dial with date. This three register manual version simply is much prettier. In case you are wondering, the capped hole on the left side of the case is from the factory. Breitling also used these cases on the left crowned automatics, and plugged the hole for these manual winds. The original dial; having gilt print and luminous markers is all original and very fine, as is the inside turning sliderule and outer bezel. We would say this is the CLEANEST original dial we have EVER seen on this rare watch. The hands on this watch are also original and pristine; bursting with vibrant neon. The original bezel has minimal wear for its' age. Most of these bezels have worn down to steel or been improperly re-painted. These massive BREITLING watches are highly sought after...valuable and ever-increasing in price due to their rarity and fabulous "wrist presence". Here is a prime and all original example we are proud to offerfor only $3450.
