Do we know who vintagewatchchap is, lol?

Anyhow . . .

The watch is being offered as a transitional Mark III. The watch looks like a Mark IIb, with the shorter tipped cental minutes and hours hands. It has an early crown and unpainted paddle hand tips:





The case back has no date stamp which is expected for a Mark IIb or an early Mark III:



And here is where it gets interesting . . .

The Serial Number - 536029 - is not within the ranges previusly identified by Nico:



So . . .

The S/N does not fit within the range for the other Graphs either. Seems like a legit new find.

Cheers,

The serial looks like 636 029 to me…
But if so it doesn’t change much but it still would be a 1964 MK II or….?

And I vote 836.019 as @SteveHarris stated in the watch description

 

[Hugger69]

Yes, that seems more correct but serial is more like 836.029 then!

I see an 1 there.

 

[Hugger69]

I see an 1 there.

I don't !

...but lets not be picky here, it could be a 1 and it could be a 2 but that doesn't have any serious affect on that serial number now, when determining what range it´s in!

I had a hunch.

Somehow, I missed seeing the S/N in the description until this morning and the 8 still doesn't look like an 8 in the photo, though I have no doubt now that it is an 8..

Mystery solved then.

GLWS, Steve.

Cheers Joe

These were a very small batch of watches in the 835.1xx to 836.2xx range I think. Nico has them in his master list.
