    Just posting this to see if this looks like a clean watch or not..

    The bridge doesn't look too worn, dial has a suitable patina..

    Might make a nice first bumper for somebody!

    • Would it clean up ok ?
    • Is the movement clean ?
    • Is the dial in good condition ?
    • Is the crown original?

    Not a fan of that much patina personally, but if bought under $375 that's not a bad watch.

    Yeah, I'm starting to have some reservations about the dial. Just thought i'd throw it out there incase someone wanted a watch that might be a good start for their collection..

    Considering how many other nicer ones are out there, the patina/corrosion on the dial and hands does bother me, and I personally wouldn't be interested in this one.

    One of the lugs looks broken?

    I don't think it's over patinated (is that even a word?) The hand corrosion bothers me more but at $50 overseas postage for something that will probably sell for less puts it in the too hard basket for me.
