Hi Shaun - You have a real beauty and although they say one should not covet seeing yours makes me a sinner. I have the 3 reg 2nd version with a faded bezel and other later versions with the snap back case (see pic). I find the screw back case to be one of the most comfortable watches I have and its a keeper for me. It’s also that bit small in diameter than the later versions which I also find more aesthetically pleasing on a smaller wrist. I am on the lookout for the first one now more than ever. Regards Paul
