Aaaah! You beat me to it. (Though, I should have put them in the original post.) And that Hof pic might have backfired. Now I'm digging the summer style inspiration and wondering if I can pull off that 'stache...

It's okay and looks all original. The bottom right lug at 5 oclock looks pretty gouged. That and the scratch on dial under deville make this a no for me. This is a common enough watch that if you wait you can find one in better shape for purchase.

It's currently at auction so not sure what is a real price yet. It's at $350.

Last point - it's currently located in Mexico. eBay is going to collect tax as usual and you may be on the hook for customs. You get dinged twice. Really sucks. So unless you live in Mexico I'd avoid this piece which is gonna cost you and will be a headache and a half.

Oops. I just made a bid. I guess if you're going to ask for advice you should listen to it. Boy, I'm learning a lot today.

The OF appellant court is overreaching IMO, but here you go, Pamela Anderson with a moustache

it looks like a honest watch, if you are lucky it will not get that expensive on auction

Customs only cares if the value is over $2500 and then you get to figure out how much the constituent parts are worth to arrive at that amount. It's... unpleasant.

Now you have a better sense of market value for a decent example.
