I had this posted once before and I lost my nerve.I'm only willing to let her go because I just bought something unplanned and ... well... I shouldn't have
It's really brilliant. 37mm stainless case, mirrored finish. All edges are sharp and clean. Amazing sunburst gray dial. Applied nickel plated markers give it some fancy depth. Original hands have a slight patina as you would expect on a piece thats 52 years old! Original crystal with the eterna logo engraved dead center is a rare find. It's also perfect. Original screw in crown is functioning perfectly as well. HD Stepped screw on caseback is in nice shape-Not perfect... but really nice. Automatic with semi quick set date.
I believe originally these were stated to be "waterproof to 1000m". It's a vintage watch... don't test it guys. My watchmaker just went through it. It's keeping great time. He mentioned that the mainspring on these is "super sensitive and temperamental" My disclaimer is than once every other month or so, **IF I fall asleep wearing the Kontiki, it has stopped for no reason.. a slight tap and its back on track... THAT said, its never happened while wearing it, so I just write off as vintage watch charm. Its been on my wrist 20+ hours a week every week since Christmas or so without issue.
Included are both an 18mm BonKlip bracelet and an 18mm Strap Habit (I think?) epsom leather strap in black..
$750.00 shipped. I'm always a fan of trades but I really shouldn't on this with the recent purchases.
Sales history? well I see some of these in lesser condition advertised for $800+ between eBay, chrono24 and the vintage watch groups. I see sales hovering $500.00 in much lesser condition as well. I shopped for a couple more of these for some friends and never saw one this nice.
Me? I have 10+ pages of sales feedback here from over 12 years of trading. I have references from the days of when TZ was a thing and 15 5 star reviews from the recent feedback addition. I sell as a hobbiest and collector, not a flipper or professional. My reputation means everything to me at this stage, so buy with full confidence.
