When did you pick that up? Graham is a distinctive and hot watch brand for sure. Good for you!

How big is the case? Is Graham the actual manufacturer, or is that same manufacturer as Arnold & Son?

To my understanding, Graham and A&S are linked. The case of this Graham is 46mm plus about 7mm for the trigger apparatus. But, I should be fine. Because my 48mm super avenger looks regular on my big wrist.

I was originally going to buy an Oris Titan C... But, my wonerful wife approved the Graham since she knew it was one of my grails.

I was asking because they look similar. You're another league over the Oris Titan now. Looks like you could rock a couple of different color straps on the Graham and would all look nice. I could see a burgundy or brown croc working well.

Just a quick question...

Does that graham model come with a silver release trigger? All of the panda dial Graham's I have seen come with a black/pvd trigger release.

I am not that familiar with Graham's but here is an example of a gen:

Ok, so I did some more researching. Is your Graham model# 563? Because as far as I can tell, they individually number Graham's.

I was not aware that they were individually nubmered. In that case, i will look at mine when i get a chance. that makes sense that the seller told me it was numbered. i thought it was an aditional reference! ha


how do you research individual numbers? or, how did you find that out?

I would guess that you could contact Graham watches about the numbering system.

Default Re: Wristwatch collectors out there?

There has to be a model number and then an individual number on the side or case back. This is nothing particular to Graham. If you don't see a reference or model number, then number indicated is the individual number.

It is best to contact Graham and make them aware you are the owner (or new owner if bought used) for reference of theft, warranty, swag, etc...

Yeah, i will have to contact them. This watch is NOS from a dealer on Chrono24 that includes all boxes, papers, and docs. The watch has an individual number of 777.

I will contact Graham and figure that out... i hope.

Does the paperwork numbers coincide with the watches numbers and details?

Graham's US operation is referencing my serial number with what GHQ has on file.. could take up to 4 days they said... But, by the simple pics i sent KEn at GUSA he thinks it is real. I looked through the owners manual/passport. seems legit. I sent some of the pics to govberg's in PA and they think it checks out. Regardless, i have 90 days to do a chargeback on my credit card.

here are a few more pics.

If you bought it from a major vendor on that site, I would assume it's real. I would not worry much about it. These sites would not work if fake watches were being peddled. Get the paperwork done so it's official you own it. Buying watches both expensive like yours and even super expensive is an everyday event. I would've expected a croc strap, but I am not that familiar with the brand.

Was it a US based vendor?

When was the warranty card stamped?

When was the manufacture date?
