SOG53
·Found this recently in a local watch shop. A watch on my radar.
2943 with cal 504, SN dates to 1958
Dial looks good script ok I think. I didn’t move the hands out of way for photos- my bad.
Radium lume looks orig
Case polished, I think too much on lugs particularly 5:00 lug
Caseback shows circular polish lines as well
Bezel and medallion ok
Red sweep likely not original??
Movement cal 504 looks ok, rotor likely replaced color different
Asking price $1500. I didn’t negotiate as I wasnt sure I wanted it.
I passed based on excessive lug polishing. And I dont think red sweep is original. ?
Would anyone have bought at this price?
I’m looking at photos and wondering.
Have a look
