    Well, it's not cheap, should have a DoN bezel for this serial and looks like new hands.

    However, the case is good and the dial looks stunning.

    Despite the price, I'll bet this has sold by the weekend.

    That brown is way to even. Could this have been manually aged with UV lighting? Anyone seen a dial that has been artificially aged?

    Well hell...if that is $10.5k, then @pitpro and I are sitting pretty with the brown and blue combo.

    Easy watchknut....I see that the strap being advertised does come with 21 links. So a fair price on the watch places that at some $200 per link. Am in :cool:

    My brown is perfectly even across the dial...no artificial aging there.

    I'm thinking tension ring damage/degradation. Here is an example of mine before and after.

    Original...@pitpro has been tracking the serial ranges, and this combination happened in a certain range. Apparently has to do with the paint lot used on the dial and bezel.

    They sure know how to take pics. Price seems high. Would be interesting to know if the serial is in the right range.

    Are there known ranges for older ones that go brown?

    I'm not certain that the 145.022-69 were strictly DoN or with DNN variation. While I understand that DoN is more desirable than not, I don't think the watch is incorrect if it has DNN.

    I'll argue in favor of DNN being correct since that's what my -69 is...:p

    Both are considered correct in a 69.

    If I remember well the coating is Nafion ( anti-uv) coating.

    It states the serial in the ad. It's 291xxxxx which is correct for a briwn dial but it should have a DoN.

    Asking price and actual sale price are two different things.
