    I thought it looked that way too but in the ad he specifies it as yellow gold, I wonder if its a white balance issue or if the seller is just wrong

    Looking at this pic I think its yellow but maybe with rose or tarnished hands, because the second hand definitely looks yellow and the same hue as the dial and case but the hands are a different tone entirely

    Most of them have been Mexico delivered, my date at six stepped was delivered to "French Colonies" which seeing as the French were second only to the British in sticking their flags in things could be anything from New Caledonia to Vietnam (it was delivered just a matter of months before the Vietnamese people expressed displeasure to the French).

    Yep and neither are dealbreakers at all really the crown should just be a yellow gold clover which is not hard to find and a short length yellow gold hand set from a piepan isn't too tricky either

    It has some issues but they're fixable, I'd imagine we'll see some activity towards the end

    Yeah, his stepped dial date-at-6 is the best example of any Seamaster Pie Pan I've ever seen of any reference / caliber.
