Hi guys,

I am again given the opportunity to own a 14381 2. Year 1962. According to the seller it’s all original except the buckle. Asking price Usd 2,100 (THB70,000).

I will collect the watch next week on Christmas Eve. Appreciate your comment and Tks in advance.

Nice to have box and papers but WAY overpriced, IMO, especially as it will need a full service (its very dirty), the rotor is a replacement, and the dial is in no way perfect

At that price the case would have to be a bit better and the dial a LOT nicer.

Dial has been chemically cleaned and case has a lot of wear.

Here is an example in 18k YG:

It's nice to have the papers, but condition is always first priority, and I really do not like the overall condition of this example.

I’m afraid I have to agree with the rest of the gang.
Soft case, severely bubbled and cleaned dial.
And I think that looks like corrosion on the movt not just dirt.
I understand your desire to obtain an arrowhead pie-pan but this is not a watch I could love.
(And definitely not for $2,000)

I have to agree with all the above....I want to like the watch....but just can't.

IMO the only good thing about this one is that it comes with tit's original papers .... unfortunately a hard pass from me 🙁

Does birth certificate indicate if watch was delivered vaginally or c-section?

And here I was thinking I was the only one with that doubt… 👎

Vaginally. That's the only way it could have picked up the syphilis that has resulted in the scarred face.

Hey guys,

Tks a million for your honest comment and I really appreciate it. It’s really helping me to decide my next move .

I am seeing a lot of oxidation in the dials I believe it’s a humid country. I agree to all the comments. It’s so hard to find a good example. Will decide today if I will go ahead. Tq all.

Try to look further afield if can, don’t rush it.
