Thoughts about this watch? Thanks

This may be an understatement: "The signed off white dial shows some aging....." I understand magnification over exaggerates details but in my opinion, that's not a $1500 specimen.

 

It's around a $1000 watch, give or take. The medallion and bezel condition is fine, the dial is a bit too aged for my taste, but I'm concerned about what looks like some pitting on the case back.

 

but for that patina, :love:

 

Rose gold dial furniture - quite uncommon. Yep, some pitting, but it looks like the gasket held out and prevented any rust from occurring on the steel movement parts. It's a good, honest piece and I think Dennis hits the mark with value.

Now, where's Kyle when you need him to salivate over the quite, but not quite even patina

 

Do these typically keep decent time at this age?

 

Sure do, with a little care.
Even better than decent. I've tweeked a few of
my NON chronometre Bumpers to +4 sec a day.

 

Any thought on use as daily dress wearer?

 

I like a certain amount of patina on a dial. Verdigris less so. But to each their own.
Best,

A good one too. Expect it to top $1000.

 

Nice watch, but a bit too pricey. The ebay options looks more acceptable to me

 

Yepper. It's already up to $1300 with four hours left.

 

90 minutes to go and it's

This is living proof people go crazy for rose gold and lovely condition! wow!

 

I'd say that's nuts for a striper/tropical/whatever you call these steel backs, but I'm focused on Speedy education. A degree in Connie is too intensive!

 

Gone past my limit. Oh, well.

 

$3099?!?!?!?! What the f is going on with THAT listing?!?!?!

The 3 feedback bidder keeps pooching up the price. Something smells fishy.

 

What is going on with this watch? Is three grand the going rate now?? Really? Wow.
