    One never knows what some of these dials have been subjected too over the years. Could and been left in a car boot in South Arizona and "cooked"

    The seller lives in Phoenix AZ. The watch most likely originated in the southwest.

    Cooked is correct.. Not by the sun, but by the radium in the dial crevasses.

    Name removed to make a blanket statement - and one that's been said quite a lot recently, but never really adhered to. :p

    Your right, I'm already not adhering to it. I did make a low offer on it :D

    Don't worry, I slipped off the wagon to buy Steve's caliber 712 Constellation. And I might have slipped again a few days ago on the Centenary if I wasn't outbid by another member here - but that was fortunate for me because that money would have not gone towards paying off what I really need to. The quicker I can lower my monthly expenses, the faster I can start building the warchest for big game. They'll be other Centenary 2500's to buy when the time comes.

    Now, if he had outbid me on a white gold Conquest Power Reserve there'd be MAJOR trouble. :D

    There's so many guys on here broke after spending many thousands over the last few months. I'm on that list for the next month.

    Thing is we need a constant supply of new guys to buy the old stock so the guys who've been buying for months/years can unload their De Villes and Steel Constellations/Seamasters to move into chonometers and gold.

    If you've been into watches for a few years, you'd know that's not going to be an issue. Mechanical watch collecting, especially vintage, is catching on.
