youpmelone Posted April 3, 2009 Report Posted April 3, 2009 This project took 6 months of search and negotiating all over the globe. It is a 169623, TT, MOP. Mom turned 60 and has never owned a nice watch. All of the family put money in and dad the biggest chunk. After a lengthy proces this finally ended on my doorstep Sorry for the dark pics, it was early this morning.
freddy333 Posted April 3, 2009 Report Posted April 3, 2009 A real beauty (for a woman) & worth the wait. Well done & I am sure she will love it.
youpmelone Posted April 3, 2009 Author Report Posted April 3, 2009 A real beauty (for a woman) & worth the wait. Well done & I am sure she will love it. coming from you that really is compliment. there are not many of this floating around. prices are good at the moment, managed to get this for 1/3 of the list price. Apparently no one wants the give their wife / girlfriend etc a used watch. luckily my mom is really cool with that.
Noel Fleischer Posted April 3, 2009 Report Posted April 3, 2009 very nice! i hope she enjoys it. i got the mens version from Ideal several years ago. it was ridiculous-$1000 but a super version. i think TWBest with excellent DW and dial. the right is a similiar Daytona- also great watch. may actually have a real 7750.
youpmelone Posted April 3, 2009 Author Report Posted April 3, 2009 You can't rep the look of real MOP. Yep, one of the reasons why I wanted a MOP dial. Have not seen decent reps of a 29MM tt, esp with MOP. But it is so strange to have such a tiny watch..
jfreeman420 Posted April 6, 2009 Report Posted April 6, 2009 Very, very nice. Rolex uses only top grade mop. There are reps with real mop dials but the quality doesn't compare. You see all sorts of colors on the gen Rolex mop dials. It really pops out at you.
Justasgood Posted April 6, 2009 Report Posted April 6, 2009 Very nice gesture and a beautiful watch. Sorry I couldn't help on this one but I am glad you were able to source it. Kurt.
Demsey Posted April 7, 2009 Report Posted April 7, 2009 Impressive. Lucky woman, and I'm not referencing the watch. Many happy returns to you all!
