Hi all!
This watch seems pretty correct to me but I wouldn’t mind reading more expert comments 😀
He doesn’t have a uv light to test the lume…


The seller is asking 3.5k€ for it
Thanks!

The dial (and hands) look ok for me (more seamaster- and connie-specialist) . Did you notice the other spot between 9 and 10?

Yeah, I did, but it still looks in better condition than 99% of the ones on the market if all good.
Unfortunately, it sold already :/

I'm more partial to the black dial version. It's academic at this point since it sold, but it looks authentic to me. I would be bothered by the spots on the dial. Those aren't going to improve with age. The case condition is fair IMO. Crown looks correct. I would have liked to see a photo of the outside of the case back. I would have also factored in the cost of a full movement service. Most importantly, I would advise against buying any Ranchero without an extract from the archives and UV and Geiger tests. I've certainly seen better examples, but not for 3,500€..
