25 Year Hunt Is Over! The elusive 16S 17J Illinois BUNN HUNTER 2nd Variant "Click" to Login or Register

I've been after this watch since 1994! I have the earlier variant which I bought from Jared B. some years back but have NEVER seen this 2nd later variant..

Only 92 of these later variants were made and none have ever come up for sale that I heard about...until now.

I was extremely lucky to acquire this one from a guy that bought it recently to sell and did not put a huge premium on it.

I never thought I'd live long enough to acquire one...guess I just got lucky, and am very grateful to own it for now. (The Hunt Is Over!!)

Tom shoots and scores, the crowd goes wild. Let me be the first to say "you stink? Well played, guess you can't have a straw in your soda or use emoticons off your smart phone or it truncates the post at the offending field. Never saw a 17 or 19 jewell, nice score.

Congratulations Tom. That was a long time coming. I'll wager you're still smiling on the satisfaction
of that find. Very nice timepiece.
