Amazing this rust rat is just going off. Well outside my budget. Guess I am not the only one who likes rust buckets.

Not that I need another project. The crystal on this will be a real challenge.

I do not understand why it sold for so much. I paid $1000 for mine 2 years ago in great condition, serviced, with bracelet. Only the case is reusable in this rust bucket. If someone wants to save the movement it will be very very costly if salvageable at all. People get excited with watches like that and they believe they got a steal.

What's salvageable from that? Case, some movement parts? Money doesn't seem to work out.

Not a cheap movement to get serviced even when in clean condition! Ask me how I know...

YouTube content creators may be bidding on this. One of them will restore the watch and make it seem like it was a piece of cake.

I saw some of that socalled 'restoration' projects. Outside easy to fix parts are all messed up, but the inside movement clean. Think they make a lot of that stuff up.
