Just saw this Sherpa Graph mk IV and I was curious about the bracelet. Was this sold with the watch originally? This example is almost nos and even has what appears to be the original caseback sticker in place. Let me know what you guys think.

The exact same bracelet came on the Mark IV Aqua Graphs, so it's probably highly likely that these would have been available for the Sherpa Graph as well. @JimJupiter will probably know better though.

Hi,
Would you share where you found it?
Cheers

It's on yahoo Japan. The auction ended yesterday with no one bidding. Its on a 24 hour auction which started over this morning. I would buy it if my budget wasn't already shot! The only issues are slightly discoloured lume and some chipping on the tachy ring. Otherwise it's amazing. Someone here please buy it!

Thanks for sharing!
Nice watch but why is the tachy in such a bad state but the rest looks so good?

I think it's paint degradation from 50 years. I doubt it was ever opened up. Possibly some atmospheric moisture got in at some point causing the lume discoloration? Overall an amazing piece. Not sure the box is period correct. I'd buy this thing in a second if I had the funds.

If I were interested, I'd want to know more about how quickly some of the lume plot glow decays after being hit with UV light.

It may not be a deal-killer for some even if the 12-3-6 & 9 hour plots were touched up, and possibly others, 2,4 10 & 11.

The watch seems like it's in pretty good overall shape, better than many.

Yep - sold pretty quickly. Lots of demand for Graphs currently. At the moment I'm receiving daily messages in Instagram asking if I have any for sale.

It's high time I started paying more attention to Instagram, then.

I've been "reading the mail," as we used to call it in my active amateur radio years. These days, it's called lurking, lol.

You don't have a 'gray and white' or other 1b for sale by any chance, do ya? ;)
