Incoming

Actually a double incoming! And, to top it off, both watches were sealed. By chance I stopped by my AD to look around and he had a display 5980 blue and black dial. He told me he had a sealed black dial in the safe and went to get it. He returned with the blue dial, a new old stock with bracelet screws instead of pins. So I decide to get it and he says he has a blue dial 5711 also sealed. He goes back to the safe and returns with a white dial, a watch I'd been hunting for. So, double incoming. Here are a few pics, one at a time.

My favorite is the 5980. Congrats on a two-fer!
My 5980 is fast approaching time for service. Runs great, but it's a 2008 model. Don't dread the cost so much as the unreal time it takes to service!
