    Hello OF,

    I need help to inspect Ed White 105.003-65.

    To my eyes, this seems to be honest example, but please do let me know if I missed anything ;)

    Serial is 25.44x.xxx

    Below are the pictures.

    Thanks!

    Can't make out the whole serial, but if you pass I'd be interested! Good luck!

    Seems to be unpolished, with the original facets on the lugs. The correct non-pro dial looks fairly nice with narrow T's and original lume and all in all, it looks good.

    I'd rather have this combination of nice dial with lume, unpolished case and worn bezel, as opposed to worn case and great bezel. Unfortunately the bezel is now one of the most expensive items to source if you want one in great condition.

    Obviously not a pristine example, but IMO significantly better than most that have appeared in recent months. I think this would sell strongly on eBay etc.

    Thanks, I have all the serial but I think the 24.4xx.xxx should be correct for Ed White, am I correct?

    Got it :)

    I think I will buy this, indeed it's more than $10K, but not too far...

    Really nice one. As others have noted, really fat case that still has the original bevels on the edges. Beautifully preserved.

    Agreed, crown seems service replacement, not the original slim logo,
    Seems I will be hunting for the original slim logo crown

    thats is not a show stopper of course, it could be difficult to find the flat logo one (but you also have the possibility to find the flat logo replacement crown)

    That's how you do it!

    Make your own assessment then perhaps ask here for a quick confirmation if you feel you need it. Once you feel confident, go hard at it, because if you don't, someone else will.

    Congrats!
