automatico Posted March 23, 2018 Report Posted March 23, 2018 "Sweet snag! My elderly eyes tell me this is a very early Paul's Abay watch. What a piece of history! Carzy Sale!" "Agreed haven't seen one of those prototype bracelets in years!" Y'all will have to quit calling me a junk man if these things ever become Collector Items. I have about half a dozen of 'em, 5514 and SD, 729 case backs, 'Prototype' bracelets, and 'working' HEV. All NOS with new swisseta 2836 as delivered back then. 'Working' HEV = it might work to let water out. Anyway, the valves are made just like genuine, I bought a genuine set to compare them. NOS... Have a couple nos 'River' SDs too, same motor. They were hot back then. Also a steel automatic Alain Silberstein Arkitek. How many of them have you seen lately? Is there really any such thing as a nos replica? I must be Carzy too! Btw...they ain't for sale. I have a 'collection'. Just now looked at a date dial and it says: COMEX 2000 ft = 610m (2000 ft/610m from the boat dock) SCOC Lookie, Lookie... https://www.ebay.com/itm/Rolex-5513-Submariner-With-7206-Prototype-Bracelet-Box-Original-Bill-Anchor-/221920434323?hash=item33ab7d1893%3Ag%3Az0oAAOSwA4dWKQ-S&nma=true&si=e9R%252BvWtIe0ergFp1SLi99gslhT0%253D&orig_cvip=true&rt=nc&_trksid=p2047675.l2557 L o n g address.
Nanuq Posted March 23, 2018 Report Posted March 23, 2018 sweetness! I had one of these and it drove me crazy (carzy?) because every time I went for a mtn bike ride the crystal would fog up. The real, genuine construction HEV was a surprise when I first opened it up. Wow.
alligoat Posted March 24, 2018 Report Posted March 24, 2018 One of my first reps was the DRSD from Paul- working HE valve and that bracelet- with a Swiss eta and only $139 shipped to the USA. That was 2006 as I recall. Still have the bracelet, but off loaded the case at some point. The Swiss eta is in a 16660 that I built- it has the silver datewheel to boot with the open 6/9s.
