u/AppointmentRemote912

just wanted to see what y'all's opinion are, was this a score find or? New old stock

-Box (fair condition)

-Schematics (great condition)

-Abu Garcia Ambassadeur FIVE baitcasting fishing reel

(brand new never used condition no scuffs or scrapes or dulling of color. feels like it just came off the assembly line.)

-Booklet with warranty dated 1992 including shops name and warranty recipient name (excellent condition)

also this model was made in Sweden as shown in the pictures.

looking to find out if there's a market for dealer chips display/collection!

thanks

hello everyone, I have literally 0 knowledge when it comes to vintage watches of this sort.

what I can tell from markings on the watch it appears to be a totally original "Longines" watch. It is stamped "on the case with a "⭐ 10K gold filled".

the watch band also Appears to be 10k gold filled, however it does have a good amount of the gold surface worn off from wear (unlike the case which still appears gold entirely) the band is also unique in that even tho it's made of metal the links are connected by some type of elastic band that allows the watch band to stretch making it easier to put on and take off I assume.

Also, all of the links on the inside of the band are marked partially in cursive with what appears to say"Speidel" USA and then below that it says

patent #:3587226

the watch case itself appears to be in immaculate condition, maybe a slight patina along the sides/underside etc... also the Black face and Diamond hour markers appears to be original from my perspective but would appreciate and info if I'm incorrect.

lastly, to

thanks to all contributions!

(I have not tried to wind the watch yet for fear of doing it incorrectly!)
