·Hey all, this is that post where someone declares to the world they might buy their first vintage watch. Here is the watch in question:
https://www.ebay.com/itm/AUTHENTIC-...2349624.m46890.l49286&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0
This watch ticks all the boxes for me in terms of what I was looking for in a watch. I understand that the dial is refinished, and I understand the implications of what that does to collectibility and value/resale. I actually don’t mind refinishing because it seems to put more watches in to my budget.
What I am hoping this forum can help with is what other issues am I not considering in purchasing this watch? Is it possibly a franken watch or does it look period correct besides the refinishing? Is the refinishing done poorly? Is this listing just plain overpriced for what you get?
I really appreciate everyone’s time and any expertise you’re able to pass on. Take care and wear your watches in good health!
