    The time has come for me to part ways with some of the watches I do not get around to wearing very much. I bought this watch off of eBay about three years ago or a little more. I have only had the crystal replaced with an Omega. 561 service history unknown. But watch runs without any issues and keeps good time but have not checked it in detail. I have since put a scuff on the crystal around the Four area. Watch appears to have never been polished or buffed. Very crisp edges. Includes beads of rice bracelet and ends that I am not 100% sure or period-correct.
    $1200 USD. Including shipping within the 48 u.s. Continental. International shipping by cost. Open for payment method but any fees would be on the buyers end. Also willing to keep the bracelet and sell Head only for $1000 USD.

    Nice watch. The lume is perfect color. Bracelet is correct style.

    So if the movement is 23 it would be from around 1966 and it's not inconceivable that a bracelet would be from 4 years or so later. By the time is was shipped from Bienne and it made it over to where it was going and then was purchased could have been a few years. It's fine for me!

    GLWS!

    I purchased the bracelet separate. From a member here on the forum. It was in a few pieces and I had my local watchmaker fit it to my wrist. Extra links are included.
