Francois Cisco, a collector friend, recently acquired a beautiful "wide bezel all black", the rarest of all Cossies - and fell in love with it so much he wrote an excellent article (parts 1,2,3) on Puristspro, thought some of you might enjoy this ?

Very fascinating article for a very interesting watch.
I have always thought it would be a great addition next to my Navi but so difficult to find...

You're welcome guys

It was quite fun to do with all the story behind, looked some vintage NASA movie , opened a beer and the keyboard did it all. :wink:

Huge thanks to Watchfred and Dracha for their precious help, without them there would not have been this acquisition. :lingsrock:

EDIT and the todaywear was... 809 of course :wink:
