I think this watch is beautiful, but I would love to hear what resident experts here think.
Seller assures absolute original on dial.
If all original and mint.... What would a true $ (what you'd pay if you wanted it) value be?
are these black dial Connie's rare/desireable or not?
I have been alerted to the lack of side pics (have asked for these) and the chonometER spelling.
thanks in advance

I think it's worth what someone is willing to pay for it. But currently too high IMO as the bezel is polished down a bit. Case-back is quite nice though, I would want to see more angles of the dial and sides. Black arrowhead dials in good shape are getting harder to find, and especially in solid gold. I think just over 2k would be acceptable to leave some room for servicing, parts.

 

ER dial on dsio's dad's 2852?
And this thread talks about another member's

Not sayin' this black one is ok.
The condition would give me doubts.
Need Hi Res to confirm dial is ok.

If you look at the dial picture in the OP, but enlarged (just click on the image), I really don't see anything wrong with it. MOY, cross-hairs, fonts and serifs all look spot-on. I would be pretty much certain it is OK (famous last words, Smith). The issues I see are the over polished case and the price about £1,000 too high . . .

 

You always add great input into these types of threads... Just when you think you've seen it, you come in with a twister!

 

just trying to hedge my bets


Either way it seems the consensus is he's asking at least $2k too much

 

cicindela what is that mesh on your 168.004/10? Looks great!

 

Thats a tough call all round, the only way to make sure its as nice as the photos is see it in the flesh so to speak. Could the dial be that nice after so long? Either way thats a purty looking timepiece. As others have stated it seems a bit overpriced. What a nice looking piece though.
