·Good morning I know this isn't a 2852 broad arrow that I'm hunting for but I ran across this at an auction house I've successfully purchased a few pieces from in the past including a mint Speedy. They post terrible low quality pictures but I find that allows for potentially lower strike price if you want to take some risk. So based on my hours of trying to learn if it's authentic and or redialed, can someone give me their thoughts? I think it's original and not redialed but I'm still not 100%.
My thinking is that the case looks like it has sharp edges and chamfers. Filthy with a very scratched crystal but the dial seems nice if you can look past the scratches.
Some cons: listed as not running, movement has spots on on photos, not original crown.
My thinking, it just needs a deep cleaning, full service, new crystal and sourced crown. Right now it's $700 USD ending later this evening. Should I take the risk and where should I cap my commitment?
