15/16 years ago I traded in a tag F1 to a mate who owned a jewellery shop I've wore it nearly every day without fail only take it off when I wear one or two of my dress watches instead. I am heating engineer and this thing has taken some amount of abuse in this time but just keeps going. I know the face is now scratched and so is the bracelet, but it's honest "abuse " if you know what I mean.
On back of case it says A57035 and then another number below 10340. What is the model. I think it's a colt but unsure. Only had 2 batteries in all that time!


Any info would be good

Thanks I have boxes and paperwork etc. It's been a great watch that's had hard use(as it should) also been diving in Maldives and carribean (and Scotland)!
I have 6 other watches but rarely use them (mostly dress and sports) as this is hardly taken off.
I am looking at possibly another GOOD watch in the not too distant future approx £3-£5k same type or mibbe more dressy. Any ideas
Ps I don't really like rolex that much(sorry)! Some of the watches on here are tremendous and I've ever heard of them but they look fantastic ( german makes etc) any ideas?
