I can't make out the complete serial number, but the first two digits appear to be 29, in which case the watch is well before the DON to DNN transition, as you are probably well aware. I'm guessing that it's 2911, so why don't you go ahead and bring up the color of the dial. 🙄
Hi DanS,
Thank you for pointing that out. You’re correct that the serial number starts with 29114, which I believe aligns with the DON bezel and production timeline. I’ll admit, though, that I’m not as familiar with all the details as most members here, so I’m still learning. I’m trying to better understand how things like the dial color or other features might affect its value or appeal.

Would you have any suggestions on how I could take better pictures to help show the details you’re looking for?

If you (or anyone else) have thoughts on what I should pay closer attention to, I’d really appreciate the insight. Thanks for taking the time!

It’s not possible to judge condition from your photos.
What I would say is that it appears correct and original, right bezel, right dial, right bracelet and it looks like it could be nice example with a sharp case, generally undamaged and the dial may have a hint of brown. But, better photos are needed from different angles to confirm whether it’s a nice example or a very nice example and there’s a subtle yet huge different between the two
Hi Davidt,
Thanks so much for the feedback—I really appreciate it! It’s good to hear the watch looks correct and original, and I’ll definitely work on getting some better photos from different angles to show more detail.

I didn’t realize how much of a difference there could be between a nice example and a very nice one, so I’ll do my best to capture everything clearly. If you have any tips for lighting or angles that work best, I’d love to hear them.

Thanks again for taking the time to help!

If you are selling then don’t touch anything no cleaning or service or polishing- just take (much) better focused photos from multiple angles including bracelet details, and list it on eBay as is no reserve with info you have. You have enough info.
It will realize market value.
It seems like a nice example but not special. You can research auction realized prices on similar examples on EB

Hi Michael, same thing happened to me. I inherited the same watch albeit yours is a bit earlier. At first I was looking at dollar signs but after a lot of reading here on OF and much reflection I decided the watch should stay within my family. Everyone has their own reasons.

Your watch looks great from the pictures and should clean up nicely. I agree if you decide to sell then don’t touch a thing. Collectors like it that way.
Mine says hi!
