·These appear to be very uncommon based on my research.
Edit: A few hours after I ran this ad I decided to try and clean the dial a bit. These are easy to uncase, and I wanted to see what a bit of rodico and an inner crystal cleaning might do. So please look at the first nine pictures for a more accurate assessment of the dial on this watch.
Dial: Silver with radial sunburst finish. Numerous areas of dirt and shallow micro-abrasions. Looks pretty good on the wrist. I've shown a bunch of dial pics, some of which are "warts and all" in direct lighting and others which look better. On the wrist the dial looks like the "better" pics, but I would rather overrepresent the flaws than have an unhappy buyer.
Hands: Original and oxidized. There appears to be a tiny kink in the hour hand that is on the left edge if you are facing the watch. How someone managed to kink just one side of a hand is beyone me...
Crown: I believe the original crown for this model was hidden. This one is partially hidden and I believe it to be a service replacement. Still a pia to wind but not as bad as the original was!
Crystal: original and if you look carefully with a loupe you will find the horseshoe in the middle.
Case: 35.5 mm, crisp and unpolished. Plenty of surface scuffs and scratches but nothing egregious.
Movement: Nice looking cal. 561 that is running well but will definitely need service as I have no idea of when this was last done. Date snaps smartly into place at 12:00
Strap:Nomos black shell cordovan strap included
Don't quite know how to value this one as I am unable to find comps for sale. Price is based on rarity with consideration given it's flaws..
Reduced to $800 ONRO. I accept pp friends or you pay fee. Also bank transfer.
Shipping by Parcelpro Fedex to continental U.S is on me. Overseas will split with buyer.
As always, thanks OF for the space!
