A good deal or a dud? Sounds a bit too good to be true...opinions?
It kind of depends on what you are looking for. Both have refinshed dials. I think you can do better putting all your money on one good watch
. As a newbie, how can I tell if the dial has been refinished? I'll take you advice. I have another I'm watching. Opinions? http://www.ebay.com/itm/17088408672...X:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1423.l2649#ht_1716wt_1112Purchases made through these links may earn this site a commission from the eBay Partner Network
Ok, I'm just trying to get an understanding. Here's another that I ask advice on: http://www.ebay.com/itm/11092505895...AX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1423.l2649#ht_500wt_1361Purchases made through these links may earn this site a commission from the eBay Partner Network
I like this watch, while technically not a pie pan, it is a classic guilloche TT. The watch seems in good condition. The winding bridge is of a different hue then the rest of the movement and may have been replaced as the two pivots on it can wear, however replacement is not certain as I seen this piece discolor when the rest have not, on movements I knew were all original. The serial number appears right for the model. The 354 bumper is a favorite movement of many collectors. In fact I am wearing one like it right now. Runs very accurate. The crown is incorrect, but that is very minor and easily fixed. I also like that it is stainless. It may go for more then you want though.
I think you got the two mixed up Steve. The one you replied to: is a pie pan. This one: is the waffle guillochè dial and I'll agree it seems pretty nice. I'll also agree it would be a stroke of luck to snag it under a grand.

I have one more for you inspection & opinion...Thanks to all for your expertise. http://www.ebay.com/itm/28092703395...X:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1423.l2649#ht_1614wt_1346Purchases made through these links may earn this site a commission from the eBay Partner Network
Opinions Please: Thoughts on a reasonable price point for the waffle guillochè dial watch discussed above? Thanks in advance for your opinions...very helpful.
I'd say you'd be doing well to grab it around $1200. Could sell for $1400-ish. Wait for a couple more opinions though.
