Ed - thanks for the explaination...it's an awesome piece.

Anyone catch James Dowlings DRSD pick up about a month or so ago...I swear that guy can find the most amazing watches....

The story on it was, as I remember, he bought the watch from the son of a guy who's father received the watch as a gift. He tried it on once, didn't like it, and put it back in the box with all the accessories and such, put it in a drawer and there it stayed until he died.

It was essentially in NOS condition.
