My gamble on the Black Bullhead has paid off in big dividends......it arrived and despite having a broken stem....this thing has never been opened or touched internally. It like a little time capsule inside.
the outer case has light wear and should merit a quick refinish....although I'm kinda on the fence about touching it up. here's a couple before photos along with a few more after I have he case a bath and treated it to a new crystal & gasket set. as it arrived... After a quick ultrasonic bath and new crystal / gaskets......on a leather Bund strap for the evening I'd say that falls into the fantastic category, very nice!

Anything that I'll end up doing to the case will at the very best be an extremely sympathetic clean up. here's a couple before photos along with a few more after I have he case a bath and treated it to a new crystal & gasket set. as it arrived... Lots of wrist cheese and DNA the dial & hands are absolutely pristine.. After a quick ultrasonic bath and new crystal / gaskets......on a leather Bund strap for the evening NICE! That dial is absolutely stunning. Definitely my favorite Bullhead. Congrats Shawn! Do enjoy that beauty! Hey Chris . . . . dibs!!!!!!!

It looks awesome on that strap!!!

So you got a 7002-700j, a 7s26-0033 and a 7002-7001? Sorry Pete. My mistake. The second is a 7S26-0050.

A few more items coming in this week. Most all are junk watches or parts. First is a genuine Tropic strap I picked up for one of Chrissy's Heuer divers.

Scooped this one up for the wife too. Nice pickup.....I snagged a pristine black dialed 2625 variant for my wife a few years ago. Beautiful little watch, sadly it just sits in her case these days. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Thanks Shawn. I'm working on a black dialed version for her too. I have a really rough one in pieces at the moment.

Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk I too bought one for my wife, but the crown was way to difficult for her to deal with. So, like yours, it just sits in the safe. getting no use.
