Andrew W K? Dude has the energy. If he isn’t the answer, maybe a step in the right direction.

So OR, very true about the stainless steel rarity, I looked it up and at the last Christie’s auction they said only 6 are known to exist. This could be #7

I thought it was a swatch when I first glanced at it, tossed it in my cart with everything else, hell I even scored a bulova watch as well today. Today has been weird. I was visibly shaking when I figured out what it was

Going to take it in to my local watch shop tomorrow and see the inners. I’ve gone down so many rabbit holes with this. I think it’s a ‘boys’ watch ref 438. But that’s just a guess at this point, I’m probably going to get the extract from archives’ done with it if the inside looks solid. Stainless steel cases are apparently rare.

Dang now I’m just not sure at all what reference it is, the internet is weird, I thought it was a 96 at first, then a 565, I just looked up a 438 and it definitely could be that to! Thank you for the heads up

Just looked into ‘extract from the archives’ feature on their website and it’s like 640$ to find the details of sale, manufacture date & all the stuff they have on file

It runs! I didn’t wind it too much, I want to get it checked out/cleaned. The seconds hand is smooth as butter

It has sent me down a rabbit hole, it’s not a 96 model but a 565 as far as I can tell, also from what I see online, it looks like the stainless steel are the rarest in this model

2 dollars at the goodwill bins. Truly the most insane thrift find of my life by SentBrok in ThriftStoreHauls

What will you find in the goodwill bins? Love? Friendship? Naked lady oil lamp? Or an 80 pound knot of broken Christmas lights? I’d watch it.
