    Sorry for the poor cell pictures. I did get a look at the movement and it is very tidy and appears original to the watch. Is it worth $2900? I know not enough photos but what is your impression? image.jpg image.jpg

    Snap look ... I'd pass as it's not attractive to my eyes. Some guys love an old tool watch to look like one.

    Hour hand likely a replacement?

    Generally needs a bath and hope the movement is more 'tidy' than the dial. Make sure your serial number matches the year, apprrximately 26 .. 27 million or so

    Overpriced at $2900. You can get a better one for same price.

    I'd pass; if this was a more desirable '69 transitional, I'd probably roll the dice with it, but with the painted dial, dot-next-to-90 bezel, and general poor condition, I think there are plenty of better options out there. @Kringkily can get you into a mint 3570.50 for around this price.

    The only thing that watch has going for it is the 225-220 bezel. the rest is pretty much a bit too far gone.

    Thank a lot for all the feedback. I will definitely pass. I kinda had speedy fever there for a minute. Thanks for the reality check.

    First time I've seen the fabled 220 bezel in the wild. Cool.

    Good eye Dennis... I didn't see the 220 bezel... still, I'd pass.
