Sherpa Graph Mark I? Gray and White

[Joe_A]

I'm hoping to find one, one day.

If anyone is selling, I'm interested.

Here is one that showed up on Chrono24 and it was probably put on reserve in minutes, and well before I saw it!



Upon seeing this, I beginning kicking myself.

Case, dial, hands, crown all look pretty darn good!



Movement looks good:



I'm not particularly interested in an original BoR bracelet, but this one looks fine:



And finally there is this:


I don't feel quite as bad for not staying on Chrono24 7x24x365, lol.

Price would be very attractive if it were not for the case back.

It is available again if anyone is interested.

It looks beautiful, but I can't get past the case back.

 

[Gopher]

Yeah, what do you make of that caseback? Is it definitely wrong?

 

[Gopher]

What should the serial range be for that model?

 

[Gopher]

409.2xx-409.7xx, I think.

 

[Joe_A]

It should have a 1308 BaNCH reference/back and be either a Mark Ib or Mark Ic.

Notice that the movement is shown, so the case had to have been opened, but there is no photo of the inside of the case back . . . not that it is absolutely necessary to make a dtermination.

Nico may have more to say on the subject.

Thanks, that looks right. I am now in communication with the seller. These are tough to find as you know and that price was a bargain in my eyes but then the caseback. Still seems fair value unless I am missing something. What do you think?

 

[Gopher]

Would sell significantly higher with proper caseback based on other transactions I have witnessed over the past few years.

 

[DubbelUIam]

The 1b and 1c have a cloverleaf back, according to the info from nico 101 enicar.

 

[Joe_A]

Yep. 1308 BaNCH

 

[DubbelUIam]

So there is a skip from a 1b/c back to a III or IV back, but such a beautifull Jim Clark must be at the wrist every day, so nobody will notice.

 

[Marco]

I saw it within minutes of listing and couldn't get past the caseback either. But I am sort of kicking myself now. Congrats Gopher! Beautiful watch

 

[Gopher]

Thanks, Marco! Sometimes you have to take a chance.

 

[David Scobling]

Anyone know the price on C24 ?

 

[vintageanimation]

I actually made an offer and the seller countered. I too couldn't get pass the caseback. I am still looking for my first Sherpa Graph and I think it needs to be perfect.

You must have been the first one to offer.

 

[vintageanimation]

I think so. He asked me to made a decision because he had someone else interested,

 

[Gopher]

And as an owner of three Sherpa Graphs, I will offer that you want your first to be correct, not perfect. If holding out for perfect you could be waiting forever.

Mint ones do surface from time to time but you need to lucky on timing and be prepared to break the bank.

 

[vintageanimation]

Sounds like sound advice. Thank you for the tip.

I think I was next in line.
