I received this Stingray last month from seller in Japan and wanted to share some pictures. Had been searching for years to find one of these and feel incredibly fortunate to have found this. Would imagine it has been serviced at some point because it works flawlessly so far, but who knows.

Nice stingray Tom

Thanks Barry. It's also comfortable on wrist. Very nice bracelet balances chunky heft of case. I found this old article informative.

I wondered what the big deal was. Then I saw the caseback. Very nice:93:

Great pick up and i agree with Mike great case and back of case

Nice name Tom! :-D

Well done sir!

That is a great "grail" type watch, hard to find and especially in such fine condition.

I hope you feel really satisfied, I have a couple watches I struggled to find, sometimes for years, and when I finally found one, it was like the heavens had opened up and the light was shining, just for me! :grin:

Enjoy! And thanks for sharing!

Thanks guys for the comments. I particularly like the smooth diver's extension on bracelet and the subtle etched tsunami logo on clasp. And yes, the caseback is wonderful. Think I will send if over to Duarte at NEWW as Mike suggested to have upgraded kinetic capacitor installed and pressure tested.
