Was tracking this one on eBay and when the buy it now price dropped I made what I thought was reasonable offer (2/3 the bin). And I won! Dreams do come true. Anyway at the office so just had a chance for a few quick phone snaps. Wrong bezel, but for now I'm gonna pop in a spare DO90. The dial has what looks like spilled burger grease on it, which is unfortunate, but it spikes the Geiger counter so that's neat. And it's brown. Something about beggars and choosers comes to mind. Crown looks wrong as well. Everything else lines up. Taking it in for a service this weekend and hopefully the movement gets the ok. Will post more when I have some time.
commenting so that I see when cleaned up photos are posted ... and yeah, a 220? It's strange how these things happen.
Congratulations. Potential but some project though it seems. Good luck and will be looking forward to see it post-service [emoji4][emoji106]
Awesome hard to source pickup. Congrats! Tough part will be all the sleep you have to do without in round the clock Base 1000 Bezel searching.
Base 1000 Bezel: you would be surprised..... there are a few around; waiting for the right beat up watch to surface..... kind regards. achim
Great catch. I like the overall look of it and could definitely live with a nicely faded DO90 on it. Looking forward to see some pictures in sunlight. That will give the dial a lot more appeal... just guessing.
