Received today

An unusual 1765 , the 1765/36 Top Time that has been sleeping in its box for over 40 years .
My best guess is from the early 70ies using the case from the 1765 Unitime that was not a best seller (presumably) .
The successor was released in 1975/76 and had the ref 7656. Both the 1765/36 and the 7656 have the 7736 movement although I have seen 1765 Top Times , without the /36 , that have the V178 movement

This one also came with the original box (with 1765/36 label affixed to it) instruction manual and world service papers and the original 22mm tropic w/ unsigned buckle

Yes, new seller on ebay with only 1 +ve feedback from when he bought a small item
typically an ebay auction where the more seasoned, or less adventurous, buyers get 'cold feet'

Thanks Will & Rick !!

Lovely tritium. Nicely done. My last low feedback purchase (zero to be exact) didn't go as well ;-)

Spectacular condition René! Well done.

For my learning, what are differences between 1765/36 and 7656?

Thank you.
