By-Tor Posted March 11, 2009 Report Posted March 11, 2009 EBAY LISTING $1600 right now. The previous owner has apparently used this watch for... well... "exploring". Looks like even the black bezel numbers are possible to "wear out". First time I see this happen though.
Stephane Posted March 11, 2009 Report Posted March 11, 2009 Wow, now that is what I call a watch !!! I love the look of it when so beaten... Too bad I crashed my car this morning
bwhitesox Posted March 11, 2009 Report Posted March 11, 2009 Think of it as a sign Stephane that you don't actually need any more Rolex's. Having said that I hope you are ok.

Guest Sql_pl Posted March 11, 2009 Report Posted March 11, 2009 "Watch is in good pre-owned ~ as found ~ condition in and out" I wonder how would a bad condition watch look according to this seller then Nice find but it is quite beat up.

I just cancelled my full insurrance a couple of months ago so I'll have to pay for my car's damages . I was zapping on the radio...and couldn't stop when the car ahead suddenly stopped... Music will kill me one day My last accident was the exact same one 22 years ago
Guest Sql_pl Posted March 11, 2009 Report Posted March 11, 2009 It is great that you are OK. Such things happen in traffic.
lazarini Posted March 11, 2009 Report Posted March 11, 2009 Looks to a tad too beaten up for this model in my book... still to each its own. @ Steph good ure oka did not want u miss ure flight this weekend laz
Velasco Posted March 11, 2009 Report Posted March 11, 2009 I've seen "vanishing" bezel numbers on a '91 gen Explorer II. The effect is, well... cheap. Nothing to compare to faded bezels IMO.
dluddy Posted March 11, 2009 Report Posted March 11, 2009 Sorry to hear that Stephane.. That is the epitome of what a "Tool" watch should look like....
TeeJay Posted March 11, 2009 Report Posted March 11, 2009 Damn, that watch has taken a flogging! I bet it has more than a few stories to tell... @ Stephane: I trust no one was hurt, my friend

As found? Where did they "find" it? I'd like to "find" something like this
Shundi Posted March 11, 2009 Report Posted March 11, 2009 Sorry to hear about the accident S The watch has a certain allure about it...Nanuq would enjoy it!

The paint may have been removed by an ultrasonic cleaner. Stephane said: Too bad I crashed my car this morning Sorry to hear about your car, but I am glad to hear you are alright Stephane.
Stephane Posted March 11, 2009 Report Posted March 11, 2009 Thanks so much for your nice words gentlemen. Nothing serious, nobody hurt ...except my bloody wallet PS: sorry for thread crapping
chubbchubb Posted March 11, 2009 Report Posted March 11, 2009 I wish I could hear some of the stories that watch has to tell...
McRae Posted March 11, 2009 Report Posted March 11, 2009 Stephane, you want to trade?! Mine's only slightly damaged on the passenger side: Seriously though, glad that it was only pride and money that got hurt!
