    No shots detailed enough to inspect the dial? No pictures of the rest of the watch either? Just the pics from the AQ auction. Pink gold capped and black dial is a great combination but it won't sell unless more photos, current ones at that, are added.

    The AQ auction for that watch ended just under $5000 back in 2007.

    Height of arrogance by the seller thinking that no one would question the AQ auction information. They've make a lot of mistakes over the years and I would never trust that the papers would match the watch without a personal inspection.

    Ok, lets back to this one. Sold in 2007 for under $5K, concerns regarding current condition as no recent pics are shown, and accuracy of information as shown in AQ ad, what else?? -- has anyone around here asked the Seller for more info/pics? because I'm about to......

    Seller sold a spectacular watch about 2 years ago that in hindsight I should have bought. This watch isn't in that league though its not a bad watch for the price all things considered.

    Man, the seller did a HORRIBLE job of showing the color. That looks like yellow gold in the actual photo.

    I should show him some pictures of the REAL color. Doesn't anyone know how to use white balance?

    Looks like the crown is a newer replacement and doesn't match with the color of the case, hands are domed style (and a bit too short) the sweep second hand is a generic with "big hole" at center. Too bad !!!

    Hoi, I 100% agree with your assessment. I knew there was something fishy about the front view of that watch and the hands were it. The minute and second hand should just reach the edge of the minute/second track.
