    Stunning original dial features multi directional ribbing and dimple minute track with bold faceted trapezoid and dagger markers, which according to the attached ad are 18K gold. Probably originally silver, it has aged to a magnificent golden color making it even more striking.

    Stainless steel screw back case with signed flush crown and original signed crystal.

    The 17-jewel caliber 917P automatic winds and sets smoothly but runs a bit fast, so service is recommended.

    Size: 37.1-mm excluding the flush fitting signed crown x 45-mm. Described in the attached ad as the "THE MASSIVE MIDO", it is indeed quite large especially considering most watches of the period were less than 34mm.

    Click the photos for full size resolution, they are part of the description.

    $425.00, US shipping included, international shipping OK, cost by location. Payment to be discussed.

    Sorry, all sales final unless grossly misrepresented.
