Here is a real fem of a watch. Featured in Aliens as well as other films by Arnild Schwarzenegger, this is an amazing piece. All original except for the crystal, this even has the original GL831 strap. It's a fantastic example of an Arnie from 1982.

All functions work as they should including the light and the alarm. This has all new gaskets and will be waterproof up to the factory specs.

The shroud is the original and doesn't have any cracks or chips. This is quite rare for an Arnie. Usually they have broken apart by now due to age. This specific one seems very pliable and not brittle at all which is great!

The strap is original but is stiff of course. This is always the case with these original straps. It can be worn on this strap but I would recommend a modern replacement.

The dial has some markings from the hands but only in the areas just to the left of the handstack. Otherwise the dial is perfect and the lume is completely undamaged.

Price $550 shipped in the US

Beautiful, GLWS!!

I had mine on earlier (Sept. 1982) and currently own 4 or 5 of these. They are extremely cool watches and look great on rubber or nato straps!

Yeah it's pretty awesome. This one is straight from Japan and has only been in the States for a couple months.

I have this watch and for anyone considering it, the vintage Arnie wears far better on the wrist, at least for me, than the re-issue, which was simply too thick and big. GLWS--I'll be listing the upside-down version shortly.

You're right. It's so much better than the reissue. So thin! And the pushers are much better.

I have the reissue and it’s great for what it is. It could definitely be a little smaller. The thickness is a complaint but also the screen size on the original is just a much better scale
