·I'm so excited! Just noticed that the seller who kept me waiting since thursday had approved my offer of 3850€ and watch is coming my way soon! Finally I'm getting a Moonwatch 🥳 Here are the pictures I have:

·The watch has had full service in may 2025 (cerificate shown) and has new pushers, crystal and the second hand. How do you think I did? I still have 24h return policy upon receiving if it's not as advertised..

·I think all the parts are as they should, stepped dial, the back, hands. Bracelet 1116 with the 575 end links should be ok for early ones. Interested to see the serial.

·I think the second hand that was changed in the service could be the running seconds hand. Chronohand looks like it matches the others and has some patina to it also..

·Bezel obviously looks to be scratched but original with DNN and no é in the metre.

·And I'm really excited about the lume. It looks really attractive and creamy in these photos with matching patina. Can't wait to see the watch in person!

··Noob taxpayerCongrats!!
Are there any more dial photos? The lume could be 100% okay or they could be hiding issues in the lighting.
Is that bezel damaged or is there something on it?
I'd want the original chrono hand on it, or a matching tritium one.
Price is okay if all the above is satisfied 😀

·Looks pretty good from here. Nice!
Those 1116 bracelets are very comfortable. Also came on my dash 69 and a favorite of mine.

·Thanks for the support! I just received word that the watch is being sent tonight and hopefully I get it on friday. For me it can't come soon enough!! Seller has the parts from the service and is going to ship them and the service papers along with the watch. Also told me that the watch belong to his father who was the original owner and promised to tell me about the watches history when we have the time. Right now I'm over the moon 😉 and hopefully it's worth the antipication 🤞

·I can feel your excitement and very happy for you! I felt same waiting few years ago for my -69 error bezel to arrive. Also with same bracelet.
Yours is nicer and you have recent service to boot so you are all in at good price for sure.
Here’s mine on same bracelet, and also on black Rally strap I also like.
And my dog thinking “Really, another wrist shot?”

·This moonwatches mission is looking a bit more like Apollo 13, hope it doesn't go full Challenger 😬

·So the sale didn't go as planned. The seller had to cancel the deal even I had already paid the watch to the site we used as intermediary party - just because the seller had pre selected a package that was too small 🤯 Then the sales listing was put back up, but now I couldn't participate because my deal was cancelled. Now he had to make a completely new listing and I was worried that someone else snatches this one before me! Also I had to put up the money again from my credit card before they returned my money, so now I'm in for 7700 something € 🤯. It's ok because it's a reliable service, but I'm sure glad I raised my Credit limit earlier this year to be able to do this transaction. Anyway I got the same deal again, but now the watch is with the seller on the half way to Moon maybe or some other work trip where he is going to send the watch from 😅

·Always surprising how things can get complicated. Good thing is you talked to the seller and shared your enthusiasm. People selling family watches like to know that their loved ones watch is going to a good home. Just a longer, excruciating wait.
