Info Captain Cook MKII vintage

[Endriu1981]

Interesting. What are the reference numbers on the case backs? I can't quite make them out in your photos. They should both be 11773, possibly / 1, 2, or 3. The The 11868 should be the day/date version.

In reference to the Marco Polo, mine had exactly the same vertical deep brushing on the case sides.

Yes, mine have both ref. 11773/2, ref. 11868 is the day date model! really uncommon to find.

I would expect it has a CC Mk II reference, I'll try to find out.

No beveling on the case sides.

never seen before! But seems the "classic CC MKII case"..

It's very rare. I have read that it was released for the 1972 Winter Games, which may or may not be true.

Yes, only 5,000 were made of the day/date reference, as compared with 50,000 of the other.

What we do not know is whether the 50,000 includes all variants of 11773 (the /1 and /2 or any others that exist).

That seems very odd for such a recent topic.

Lots of bots? Or, lots of people looking for modern CCs?
