Another newbie here. I have had this watch for about 3 years and never done any research on it. But have been looking for similar models as I like it so much. Can anyone help with info on this watch and where I may find another like it.

What I can work out is that it is obviously a Sprint and i think dates from '77 ish

You may need to copy and paste link to browser!!

If a fake then damn the seller, if it is real I have never seen any others on the market.

Watch No is 2051 and serial number is 1437429 if not clear on the images.

Thanks for any help[/url]

Serial dates to 1975, watch looks OK on first blush, but let me check the books - 1970s is not my sweet spot.

There are some Sprints around - usual places, keep an eye on the Bay or some of the reputable vintage dealers on line.

I can't find details of this specific Sprint, but much like the Top Time, Sprint is a range of watches. Can't confirm that this is 100% OK as I can't find a comparison, but I see no problems based on the front and back.

Sprint isn't a tremendously valuable watch - probably in the $750 - $900 range.

Thanks for looking in to this for me. Great help, at least at that estimated valuation I may be able to afford another one!! If I can find one.
