Hi guys,
what is your opinion on this one: [Link Removed - Pics below]
It's an offer from a member of this forum. I really trust him, but it's always good to get a second opinion 馃槈

I absolutely fell in love with the colours and just want to make sure the details match as well. As far as i know, plexi, crown and pushers are replacements. Still a good buy? What do you think. Price Tag is 10.000 Euros

Thanks a lot in advance

Crown and pushers are replacements which has obvious impact in valuation.

Ia that net price? Do you have to pay custom tax or anything else?

@ATWG would you say that destroys the deal? Price tag in the initial post.
I wouldn't say it's a deal breaker, it's quite common for those items to be replaced during service. However, it should be reflected in the asking price.

We can pick it apart for you, but you mentioned that you like the way it looks, so don't forget that ... it's a lovely watch. Aside from the crown and pushers, I would say that the bezel is a bit tired, there is a bit of lume loss on some dial markers, and the hands may have been repainted. I can't swear to the latter, but they just look a bit too perfect and bright white. None of these things would be deal breakers at the right price for many buyers, since the watch has a lot of appeal overall. I really like the way it faces up. Given the circumstances, I won't comment publicly on price, and in fact that really needs to be your personal decision. Everyone's situation is different, and we don't know all the details.

Look nice to me, you'd only have to find the right pushers and crown.
I'd look closer the tritium dial and the hands look too perfect imo...

@Dan S & @athom thanks for your feedback. It really helps. What would original crown and pushers cost (a rough estimate is absolutely ok for me)?

First of all, you don鈥檛 have to replace the crown and pushers. They are perfectly functional and correct service parts.

I think that original wide 105012 pushers can be a bit hard to find and I don鈥檛 really know what you would pay, but probably in the neighborhood of $500. You also need to be sure that the case hasn鈥檛 been modified to accept threaded pushers, since I believe the originals were press fit. If I鈥檓 wrong about that hopefully someone will correct me. With old watches, sometimes you run into unexpected surprises.

The flatfoot crowns are easier to find. Probably a few hundred USD.

@Dan S Thanks a lot! I guess i would leave crown and pushers as is, but it is good to know the price tag in case one wants to change that 馃槈 Currently i heard no red flags from you guys. That alone is a compliment 馃榿
