Owned and enjoyed this one for a few years and now time to pass it on.
Dial: Relumed and the hour plots are slightly larger than what they were when stock. Also slightly uneven in size as seen in the pics. That being said, on the wrist it looks pretty darn good. The dial is otherwise in very good-excellent condition. One tiny, pinpoint smudge (dirt?) between 4-5 and centralized just below the hand stack. Silver gilt hash marks between 41 and 42 appear tarnished. This can only be seen under certain lighting. Other marks and light or dark areas are artifact.
Hands: relumed with dial and excellent
Crown: original and excellent
Bezel: the more uncommon (and correct for this early model and dial ) version with "count-up" numbering. I was unsure about the bezel as I almost always see these with a count-down bezel. So I found 3 pics online of watches with the same dial and bezel. Happy to send them to anyone interested..
Case: appears unpolished with sharp chamfers and good contours all around. Some scratches and dings on case and case back but nothing egregious. Case size is 38.4mm measured at the bezel. 35.6mm measured at midcase.
Movement: looks clean and running well but please assume it needs a service as I don't know when this was last done.
I've taken the relume into account and think this one is fairly priced at $1500. There is a rather nasty looking one with aftermarket bezel being sold on the 'bay for $2300.
I accept pp friends (or you pay tax) or bank transfer. Fedex/Parcel pro to continental U.S. is on me. Overseas will split shipping with buyer.
Thanks for the space O.F.!
