I'm curious to get an experts take on this. Are the dial and hands original? If it would need a service, how much would it cost. Lastly, is $500 a fair price?
I'm not even going to spend time on the accuracy of the print on the chapter ring. I can't get past the Universal Geneve print.
Even with a genuine dial I'd say $500 is well over. A bit of patience and a willingness to buy from places like Italy and France should bring one of those home for quite a bit less.
I would say that by the time you have acquired and serviced you are a tad North of $500. These are lovely sport models, wear bigger than their size and well worth having in your collection. This one is a pass as dial is worked on and I think the crown may be wrong as well. One with military registration hammered at $305 recently on the bay But it was gonna need an overhaul.
At the risk of confabulating with the Ebay thread, what do people think of this one?
