Hey everyone.

Another watch I am interested in - Not too much info except its 34mm and got a cal 503. Strap is also not original apparently.

Owner has had it for ca. 3 years, hasn't been serviced in that time but keeps decent time.

What do you guys think - Does it look okay?

Cheers again,
Andre

Case is pretty soft (polished) and the crystal is missing the reflector ring (rehaut), so figure it's going to need a proper crystal.

There should be no gap as shown.

Hard to judge the dial from the provided photos.

Hi Andre, in both threads you started, the photos are really not at the level that I would normally expect and need. If a seller is asking $200 and sending you crap photos, maybe you might want to just take a chance on it and hope for the best. But if they're asking top dollar, then they think they have a good watch, and they should provide good photos. If they're sending terrible photos, they might be hiding something.

Thank you Dan.
Got it, that makes a lot of sense.
