I've not worn it more than 10 times since purchase, so logic dictates it's next to go on the block.
Dial: Very attractive (IMHO) color combination and presents as overall v.good to excellent when viewed with naked eye while on wrist. Numerous small flaws seen under loupe include what appear to be the outlines of dried residue(?) at the 37 minute mark and between 20 and 25 on the seconds sub dial. These are difficult to see without loupe and at correct light and angle. Also numerous small areas of what appear to be dried oil at outer periphery of the black tachymetre ring. These are not visualized with naked eye. Interestingly, I just noticed that most of the lume dots are missing. Three are intact. I never noticed this before tonight when I studied the dial with my loupe..
But as I said, despite these several poorly visualized flaws, the dial is lovely..
Hands: nice condition, some lume missing from minute hand. an almost microscopic hole in lume of hour hand.
Case: 38mm x 42mm. Unpolished and with numerous scrapes and dings as seen in pics.
Movement: Valjoux 23 looks good and all functions working well. I have no idea of when it was last serviced so I strongly recommend having this done prior to regular wear.
Bracelet: Original NSA with FL logo. A bit loose on my 6.75" wrist so I think it would be fine on 7". There are a few mm of flex on the spring loaded clasp.
Reduced to $900 ONRO
I accept pp friends (or you pay fee) and bank wire.
Fedex/Parcelpro shipping to lower 48 is on me. Overseas/International will split shipping with buyer.
Thanks OF for the space.
