Hi guys, finally have my 55 V72 Navitimer on it's way with box and papers, last checked was in Singapore headed for Sydney most prob reach here sometime next week, thanks Kurt. It comes with a full service and the only risky thing I requested against Kurt's advice:) was removing rust on the hands which is common on these watches because of the radioactive radium content (the risk with removing rust on hands is offcourse that the lume on the hands can get damaged so Kurt was quite reluctant for me to go that route but I like it with no rust since I wear my vintage watches frequently:) and hoping doing so has not damaged the lume on the hands). Can't wait to see and try it, pictures of it soon!

Btw I am double excited because I just received this 1975 100th Anniversary Swiss Accutron Spaceview today http://www.watchtalkforums.info/forums/ ... /62199.htm so a good month for me:)
