Hi. With the help from this forum I've narrowed my one watch purchase to a 3592.50 or early 3572.50 (tritium)... less likely a 3590.50 since I like the sapphire caseback.

I found a 3572.50 that I believe is a great watch for me. I'm just looking to get more experienced eye and any guidance is welcome.

I'll get more pictures shortly but this is what i have right now.

This may be an early production 3572.50 “Professional Yellow” that has an 863 movement instead of the expected 1863 movement.

Here’s a thread on the topic:

OF - 3572.50 w/ 863 Movement

Watch looks attractive from the limited photos provided. However, you’d want to view side profile photos that better show the condition of the mid case and lugs.

I agree. It looks good, but you need more pics to ensure case condition, hasn’t been polished, etc.

Yes. The serial number checks out that it's an early 96/97 so it has the tritium and 863.

My guess is it has been polished but hopefully just not too bad... it's seems so hard to find watches 25 plus years old without any polish history.
