BELL & ROSS Vintage Military Type 126 Chronograph Watch!
Only 999 Ever Made! RARE
LIMITED EDITION, RELEASED IN 2003
RETAIL PRICE $ 3,500
#421/999For auction is a Bell & Ross Vintage 126 Military Type Brown Dial Chronograph with awesome leather NATO style strap. Watch is practically brand new and has only been tried on several times over the years. The leather band shows a bit of wear but the timepiece itself works perfectly.
There are some very minor scuffs and tiny scratches on the metal parts around the timepiece itself, but these can be easily polished and buffed out. Very light superficial wear to it but the watch functions flawlessly. The overall metal quality is very good. The case, bracelet, dial, crystal, hands, and crown are excellent.The overall condition of the timepiece itself is excellent, easily 90-95%.The leather wristband is in good condition but definitely shows some wear; about 70-80%
Sorry no box or papers and this has been factored into the price.
