Saw that one when parts shopping. Found another for 8k in worse shape. I can see me trying to explain that to the wife....or any sane person for that matter.

This one was thrashed within an inch of its life and it took nearly 20 years to put it back to almost-as-delivered condition. No amount of searching is going to reveal a NOS red triangle insert so this is as far as she goes.

Is that a 5508? :in_love:

Yep it's a 6536/1 from about April, 1958. It was issued to a spec-ops diver and when he died his widow gave it to me. It was beat to hell and took over 20 years and a lot of watchmakers to pull it back from the brink. Tom Nesbitt and George Kajanoff in Seattle, our own Ubiquitous and The Zigmeister, and now my local AD watchmaker all breathed new life into it.
