I was watching Dickinsons real deal while having dinner the other day and this C153 popped up.

I am sure i heard the expert/dealer say he liked the watch because it reminded him of a trip to Singapore in 1969 when he bought one for XXXX i dident catch the price (£12.50 ?).
Pretty rare if he bought one in 1969

The seller sold it to the dealer for £125 and stated that he had paid £132 when new.

I do remember when they came out - but not sure when it was. Senility you know!

Looks superb, complete with the box and 'pen'. I hope it goes to a good home.

So the seller can calculate the exact percentage he lost on flipping it ? LOL

I love Dickinson's Real Deal. What day was it on so I can watch it on Catch Up?

Nothing obvious on here about that watch, but will keep an eye out. Could have been a repeat as its usually on in the afternoons.

Maybe in Singapore they were released ten years earlier than in the rest of the world... Who knows...!

well at least he will make his money back if it's in full working order - Seikos first ( or 2nd ) calc watch from 1978
