Not from new no, but I traded an omega for it when it was nearly new .
I wore it everyday, work , swimming , cycling , sailing , broke the crystal once ( very expensive repair ) it was not far short of what the watch was worth then .
I’ve had a new bracelet, I even experimented with a Rolex black bezel to look more submariner like .
I put the old faded one in it’s box , after a year or so I was told I should get it out and back on as faded was cool .
Tbh it’s my favourite watch , the only real sentimental value one , but because of its present day value I don’t wear it everyday anymore .
Perhaps I should ?
Mind you I’ve had fun getting into watches and buying into other much cheaper brands and not worrying about a scratch .

Due to the Pandemic it’s been a year since I’ve had a chance to get to my holiday home in France .
We left via aeroplane to Italy to avoid quarantine and having arrived by car , it means we left an old Volvo on the drive .. it doesn’t look too bad tbh but obviously won’t start .However my hidden watch rolls had kept my favourites safe and the seiko solar having not seem sun for a year plus was still ticking , albeit 6 days adrift .
But most glad to be reunited with my long time owned GMT ….
