Just out of curiosity, what do you think is so nice with this one? 😕

Where do you see "nice" in the OP's post?

Is it the photo quality (bad) or are those pushers to large for that reference?

Nothing to see here, the word "nice" isn't in the title. Not there at all. Completely absent ... now. 😁

Hands not original...

pushers are a question. Depends on price and if your willing to take a risk.

with the right hands and some poly watch it could be great. Could be a nightmare though....

The dial will also need a re-lume.

The asymmetric TTs on the dial are “nice” and also correct.

The original thread was named “Nice 1963 Speedmaster on Goodwill website”

Then OP edited the title...

At least the shipping price is only $10.25 for a +$8,100 watch 😀

You’ll get the full $50 USPS insurance.

Looks like one of the bidders retracted and it sold for $7500. I thought about posting it here while it was still active, but decided against it. The case and the double bevel case back are both in really nice shape from what I could see, and the movement at least looks decent and not rattty. The dial, well definitely needs a relume, and the bezel is pretty much the worst/most ghosted I've seen. But is $7500 really that out of line even for one that needs some work? I can't remember seeing one of these on ebay sell for this little any time recently.

i wouldn't have thrown it out of bed for eating crackers.

1963 could've been my dad's HS graduation... think of the adventures that baby has seen. swapping out the replacement hands for a correct set would make that ok in my book. the ghost bezel is really cool, different, but cool. a vintage 1963 senior is a lot more grey today as well.
