Cool watch. I like this high indexes. Was it only serviced or re-polished also?

This one got a new crystal, cleaning and a gentle job on the case was also done, since it was in almost NOS condition before.

Kind regards Max

Brilliant! Good to see I'm not the only one with a love of these and see them as worth investing in.

I have its mirror dialed brother which I had brought back from the dead and refurbed at great expense. Love it.

Good job on the SPA, I've got two of these, one like yours (although the dial is of a lighter blue) that was badly beaten up and came back "like new" after a "surprise SPA" and a mirror one that is untouched and still looks very good overall.

That's absolutely lovely, and nice to see something like this getting all the love that so often goes to the big names like the moonwatch or the Sub. It's nice to know I'm not the only out there who loves this era.

Hi guys,
I want to add one of those to my collection. Any idea on what's a good buying price for a decent piece?
Anything specific (mechanically) I should look at before I pull the trigger?

Looks amazing! Like new! May I ask how much did it cost you to get it polished?
