    Second hand is too big. I'm not convinced its not a re-dial.

    Not a Pie-Pan but dial looks original. Watch is also pretty polished, would put it at $700ish.

    Thank you. I am always amazed at how quickly you and other members are able to sort out the good vs bad...I've got a long road ahead of me :).

    Mickey got one these, even more desired RG capped, for a little less from a most respected Forum member. Most always best to buy from one of the "Crew"!

    Dial looks original to me. A nice, honest 2652 with wear on the case but generally pretty good. Medallion is intact and money is in the ballpark. Clover leaf crown is not original for this early production (1952) model.

    Second sweep is wrong, but that's no biggie.

    Cheers

    Watch itself is not at all bad, as Desmond points out. Only issue I have is the price. At that level, you have no room to replace worn parts or give it a cleaning if required. Seller is asking full retail price for a "barn find" condition watch.

    Need to shave some bucks off and you'll have a real nice watch.

    Same as above, and agree with Desmond about the second ssweep. If you make an offer that leaves room for a service (just incase it hasn't been..) I say go for it! It's nice early connie with textured dial.
