Just what I need! More quartz divers!
7C43-7010 from 1988. Prices on these have spiked since Spencer did his '7548 vs 7C43 series on YouTube, but this one sold relatively low. I think people had doubts about what is either dial damage or gunk on the crystal. I am 95% sure it is gunk on the crystal.
I also snagged this '81 7548-700B. My bid was absolutely maxed out...if anyone had bid even one yen more it would have been theirs.
Nice wearable condition for the money.

I've been very restrained for a long time, and I've watched these go past for ages, but decided that this one looked good. It's one that I would wear regularly.

These things I've heard are supposed to be pretty rare but they seem to come up quite often on european ebay sites and are pretty cheap compared to regular arnies.

Whoa, what is all the jargon on the chapter ring elude to raz? Does it have some kind of RF transmitter in it to send those messages? What's the watch model (forgive my ignorance please!)

This just arrived in the mail direct from a Hong Kong AD, my Grail timepiece Marine Master 300M (SLA047J1). This replaced my previous MM300 (SBDX017J1) i can't described how beautiful the Green dial actually is, it's a incredible piece

Its the h558-5010 (the 5020 is the more desired one with 150m WR and titanium case). The markings on the chapter ring represent some sort of codes/indications for rescues on land. I read somewhere the exact meaning but could not find it. Similarly as with the markings on the 5000 real Arnie they are just for fun/show

I guess for communicating with rescue aircraft- code for answering queries- YES, NO, and so on.

That's exactly it scubarob99, I was just confused by it being in the watch chapter ring. If the guy in the plane can read it, you're already rescued!

I remember dismantling a wood pellet factory in Brooklyn and loading it in containers to ship to Lithuania, I had to get the sign lingo in synch with the crane operator pronto, I had him for 6 hours to remove whatever machinery was on the roof.
