Hi, all.

Picked up a B4B Mark VI recently, just had an opportunity to shoot it for ID purposes.
Apologies for the grainy camera work :-)

http://gallery.me.com/rob_vanhooren#100 ... olor=black


Came with pristine outer 'ling box, full inner bakelite preso box, with the watch itself still wrapped in what I presume was factory vinyl.
Also included the plain white box used for warehouse/shipping. Papers were nearly complete: open Argentine warranty, round sliderule card, service centres listing ... missing only the COSC and user manual.

When I took it in to a local AD for bracelet sizing, they didn't make any comment -- just pulled a few links and presented it back.

Anyone inclined to give an opinion re: real or otherwise?

Thanks,

Rob.
