Its one of the oldest ones I know with serial 635.337 (earliest starts with 635.2xx). Despite the after market red ring (edit: or maybe it is original?!) and later crown, this is a beautiful example and I'd like to see where it ends.
BTW the sweep second hand is correct. Early AG, JG and SG's were found with this daytona styled hands.

I like it!

I'm guessing that finding an original type crown would be easy, but finding an original bezel in good condition would be slightly easier than impossible?

It’s the watch of IG User @vintagewatchclassics. On his pics the red ring looks ok. Wouldn’t mind anyway, those rings are so fragile, aftermarket is ok for me.

That seconds hand is really interesting. I really like it. I'll keep an eye on it too

I’m pretty sure the red triangle is a newer aftermarket replacement.

That red ring was a really bad design anyway. I broke mine on my Jetgraph back when I was a kid. I think it got stuck in a sweater when I should put it on over my head.....

Did anyone happen to catch the final price on this? Missed out on the auction but looks like a really interesting piece! Anyone try to bid? Amazing the prices on these the past 5 years....wish I had bought more of them in the day!
