    It would be nice of you to provide a steady close shot of the dial so we could actually see it.

    I met the great Camel Trophy driver, Tom Collins, at a land-rover event in Monteagle, TN. Came with a bog standard Discovery II, came back the next year with a rock eating snorkel monster on 35s, the man knew his stuff. Beautiful watch too.

    Awesome watch and great story! It just goes to show that your grail watch doesn't have to be something that has an astronomical price tag attached to it. Enjoy it and congrats!

      You're absolutely right, finding this watch is like finding an old friend ,childhood friend that u didnt see for many many many years, as it sits in the store right across of me every time I see it it takes me back when I was 18-19 years old in front of a watch store window watching and dreamin...

    Ooohhh!! That was my first serious grownup watch. My late father bought me this one, when I was 18, just before I joined the army. I loved this piece, I got hooked with the “Camel Trophy” brands. So I ended up wearing the brands shoes (yes🤷🏼‍♂️) and a leather belt with the logo.
    Don’t judge me, I was 18, 19😉..

    Oh that is so cool Mimo! This made my day. It is so neat that a watch smith and watch dealer found his grail....a watch you can't just go and buy.

    Thanks for sharing, my first buy when I got hired in Dubai to work for an english daily newspaper as a press photographer so I get to be on time for work, even the packaging is the same with the metal case, too bad I was not able to keep it, that's why I kept looking for one

    Congrats on the “barn find” Mimo. Nice looking piece. And, the postman just dropped off the light blue 2100 G-Shock I ordered Sunday. Super fast shipping as always. 👍
