Nanuq Posted July 21, 2009 Author Report Share Posted July 21, 2009 Beautiful - ish........ That was one good looking piece, at some point. But it also raises the "known" count to five, as far as I know personally. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chefcook Posted July 21, 2009 Report Share Posted July 21, 2009 The text in English: Here you see a 1967 SUB Professional. This SUB has been restored. The dial is repainted and the case has been matted instead of rebrushed as the condition was very bad - a normal condition for a watch that was made for diving, not for visiting the opera. Clearly visible the recessed crown that can only be seen on this first series and the minute hand with thin lume. Pictured beneath an example for a SUB300 and it's condition. Hands and crowns get replaced very often which is a reason for the first SUBs being so rare. In the picture beneath one can see the US divers logo. The revolving bezel is scaled in meters and does not carry a logo. ... The bold part says that he is very interested in doxa subs - mail him if you have something for sale.

Nanuq Posted July 21, 2009 Author Report Share Posted July 21, 2009 Thanks Chef! I wonder if that means the Black Lung was repainted as a standard orange Pro? I've got a spanking new Beads of Rice band with the "wide" ends from the Freres Aubrey era that I offered to trade him for a narrow 1967 first series Beads band. I hope he's got one for me!
