    Well...not really for sale. But something I'd like to give away to an active forum member. Or at least someone who has a number of posts to his name. Or a sincere newbie just starting out. Just don't want to see it up on ebay next week.

    Dial: a few blemishes and some oxidation but nothing terrible.
    Movement: looks OK and ticking. but I did have to open the cover and move the balance wheel. so probably dirty and definitely needs a service
    Crown: flush to case and an absolute pia to wind.
    Case: scratches and blems. lugs a bit chewed up

    And despite the above, I think it'll be a very wearable little watch for someone after it's been serviced.

    I'll send it via USPS anywhere in the lower 48.

    Cheers
    Todd

    What is your lowest price? ;)

    Lovely gesture and I’m sure whomever takes advantage of this kind offer will happily cover the cost of shipping.

    This is an awesome offer. Too nice of a watch for me ask for. I will only say, if it sits for a couple of more days and no one wants to pay to have it serviced, I have a "little old, semi-retired watchmaker" who still services watches for me for about $60 U.S. Of course shipping would be included and as @blufinz52 will attest, I will in return, mail you a gift certificate to your breakfast or coffee shop of choice. LOL But seriously, only consider me if others who aren't lucky enough to have such an old fashioned watchmaker don't want to take on the cost at hand. This is super nice of you and very commendable.

    Nah……. Most of us would have the decency to wait a least 2 weeks before putting it on eBay! ::stirthepot:::D
    That should be a good score for someone.
    Very generous of you.

    And now gone! Off to a very sincere and recent member of the forum.
    I read a number of his posts and he seems like a really excellent young guy who's been bitten by the bug...
