Hi all
I have the opportunity to buy this Cyma dirty dozen locally.
It seems good to my eye but I’m far from an expert on this kind of thing
Any thoughts?
Thanks!

I like it, if I was being fussy then I'd say maybe the bezel is a little soft, but the rest to my eyes more than makes up for it. Very characterful and if the price was right I'd definitely go for it. I have one too and together with the Longines 'Greenlander' these are my favourites from the DD

Looks OK to me. Perhaps the lume on the hour hand has been messed with, replaced/consolidated. These are quite often seen and although pleasing it's not top notch so I wouldn't pay top dollar. 1600 euros isn't a bad price. Have you seen the movement, is it serviced?

No recent service, it runs apparently well but with a low power reserve (about a day)
Are these supposed to light up under uv light? This one apparently doesn’t!
Thanks!

Looks ok at first glance. One of the most common www watches but a nice size case all stainless and a good place to start. You can find many sales as comps.

Looks good to me. I don't know re the radium under UV, I have a WWW that is original radium and doesn't glow but another that does, then fades as soon as the light is removed. It's another whole topic that. I would say it's a very fair price.

Well, I saw it this morning and left with it! With a loupe, the lime is definitely original and it’s a very charming watch! I guess the crazing on the crystal is on the inside and can’t be polywatch-ed but it adds to the vintage military vibe!
Love it already!
