How much is this going to sell for? I am betting $100 plus shipping.

 

Was just going to post that

It will buff out. Wonder whats left for parts?

 

It says in the description that back too hard to get off, how are you supposed to get to the parts if you can't get the back off ? This "watch" is a bit of a chocolate teapot, still got to love a trier

 

agreed. It just needs a good service.

 

didn't someone post around here that a bit of lemon juice can clean all that imperfection right off?

 

Is there such thing as too much patina?

With shipping it sold for US $167!

 

That's a lot of money for, pretty much, a movement that might be safe inside or damaged as well.
