    The watch is in VG Conditions, unmolested case, caseback nerver opened, than I thought original movement inside, clear brilliant dial... I think original hands untouched.
    I think it is very difficult make great pics to a such stunning watch... in person is a great watch!

    Case is a little dinged up and those sharp edges at top and bottom have, as usual, been distorted a bit by polishing. Crown and bracelet are not Zenith. Movement looks OK. Nice looking dial and hands. Will probably hit $5k, despite the shortcomings.

    Agree with the assessment - kudos to the seller for being unusually scrupulous in his photography.

    Another polished example. I've seen about 5 examples for sale in the last year and mostly polished. But still crossing my fingers that I can find a reasonably good one out there.

    Yes, savagely overpolished. It seems I see more overpolished A 3817s than any other reference in this case. What is it about these watches that makes people take belt-sanders to them?

    Most of these owners realised they prefer round watches to these after a while.

    So, was $4000.00 a good or bad price for this a3817? I thought the face was very beautifully aged and correct.

    I think $4100 was reasonable. The case is not perfect, but a similar one with blunted edges went for more than $6k one year ago. This will be a decent investment.

    It looks OK. Service hands and crown. Better photos of the outside and inside of the case would help confirm authenticity. Movement shot would also be nice.

    Same link. Probably due to location settings or something.
