This is a rare, pre-owned and lightly used, first generation Gevril Tribeca Limited Edition #462 out of a total 500 in the world!It will come with a protective plastic wrap on the face and bracelet. It comes in the original box by Gevril (warranty card and other instructions not included). These are getting very rare and will only go up in value! It's number 462 of only 500 ever made! These are the truest 1:1 homages of the "Paul Newman" Rolex 6263 RCO version that I've ever seen and/or owned. They represent great value - original MSRP was over $3900.What makes this watch unique is the group of collectors that own one. John Mayer, a renowned artist and known watch collector, owns #425, this is your chance to buy one just a few numbers away from one of the most serious and discerning watch collectors. I also appreciate the fact that the people who own these watches are true watch people, they like these watches not for the fact that "it looks like the Rolex 6263", but because of how well it is made. A little known fact, but the bezel and the screw-down pushers are exactly (not nearly, but 100% exactly) the same as the original Rolex. This is a sign that some serious amount of effort went into making these watches as close to the real thing. And remember back in the 90s when these were made, it was not known how much the Paul Newman Daytona's would rise in value. So I give Gevril full points for paying homage to what has become one of the most iconic chronographs of modern time.Technical Specs:Case Diameter: 37 millimetersLug Width: 18 millimetersCase Material: Stainless SteelCase Condition: Great condition, sharp lugsDial Condition: Great condition, no damageBracelet: Original Gevril Oyster braceletMovement: Automatic winding, 51 Jewel ETA 2824 with Dubois-Depraz 2020 chrono moduleScrew down crown and pushersAcrylic crystal#462 of 500Please note the acrylic crystal has a slight mark (as shown in the last picture), it can easily be remedied by using some PolyWatch or one of those wipes that are used to remove scratches off acrylic or hesalite crystals. It never bothered me, so I never quite did anything about it. Its hard to capture it in pictures, so I wouldn't worry much about it. The watch runs perfect, the chronograph works just as expected and resets back to 0. The screw-down pushers are amazing and work very well. Overall, I'd give this watch a 9 out of 10. I'm reducing a point because I have used it, but it is in near new condition.I hope you make my loss your gain and buy a little piece of history - be one of only 500 lucky watch guys out there who have this amazing timepiece in their collection.Cheers!
