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 .
That faded bezel is great. Did you own it from new?
