Well, after a number of false starts, I came across this and thought it was a little gem. Only one damage point of note, being the back of a lug. Likely due to a drop.

Figured its a nice place to start on some older models.

Congratulations - nice pickup. Condition looks good, may have been one of the Old World pieces from a few years back.

Thanks guys! Fred, I knew you would have one! Now back to my other searches, this one popped up almost by accident.

Congratulations. I used to have one of these. Great watch: really light. You'll need to find a way of cleaning the resin. It discolours with wear.

After a little cleanup..... Have to glue the bezel back in, the glue holding it had broken up.

I like it! So it seems that being a WIS is no longer enough. Now it's got to be vintage.
Congrats!
