TimeZone rating--

Excellent: 88-92%

Evidence of use is visible to the unaided eye. Scratches are light, but more numerous than "near mint". If the watch has been restored, all original replacement parts have been used. Strap clearly used but no stains. No dents or dings are detectable, and the bracelet has little wear. Working perfectly, needs no repair or service.

NOTE: The case has never been polished, so the case does show a few nicks and scratches. The case sides are shiny, the top of the lugs have the original satin polish, the the lug holes are round, not oval. The lugs themselves are still sharp, and are not narrow, or misshapen. So in this regard, the case and bracelet are:

Good: 77-82%

Case may show a few dings, nicks, or deep scratches.

I've been selling on eBay Canada since November 1, 2006 and I have a 100% positive feedback, and 5 stars across the board:

Asking $2275 Canadian Or Best Offer

Would prefer a face to face deal in the South-Western Ontario area, (Cambridge, Kitchener-Waterloo), but will also ship by Xpresspost with signature confirmation. Prefer cash, but will accept PayPal from non-local buyers.

I'm looking for a Canadian transaction only. No buyers from outside Canada, please.

I forgot to mention that the luminous compound on the hands, and hour markers is Tritium, and it's still glowing strongly. The markers, and hands are quite visible in the dark without direct sunlight, and glow brightly when exposed to sunlight.

I made a mistake here. This Rolex was serviced by Shane Ede 2 years ago, not Y Phung. My Omega Seamaster was serviced by Mr. Phung.
