    Woah! Fantastic find. Not a common dial type. And the condition is very honest. Cal. 27M?

    Yes, bad crystals are the discerning watch hunter's best friend.

    The specific venue wouldn't help you. The best advice that I can give is simply to hunt where the masses don't. ;)

    Beautiful. I'd call dibs but I project that US college cost for my 19 month old will be about 1 million USD by the time he is ready, so have to stick to my bargain basement guns.

    More of a good clean and a wipe with a cloth ( I would say ) Polishing is a no no in these parts
