😲 Anyone could modify the title of the thread by moving one step left the dot of the watch ref please? 😵‍💫

Did you notice that the seller says that the dial is original, but the service receipt lists "service and dial".

With the vintage market being what it is now, the signs of age in a watch are what most collectors admire about the watch and what gives it character. It’s true that one collector's “cool patina” is another one's “dial damage”, but originality is what is sought and pieces in good condition therefore become highly prized.

Well said Sir !
Condition Condition Condition is all well and good if it happens to be all original too, but with that comes crazy prices !
There are collectors on here that will bang on all day long about condition, condition, condition, that’s fine if you’re able to spend the equivalent price on a watch or watches as someone else would for a family car or even a house 😉

Buy a good one, that’s all correct, with no missing parts, in the best condition your budget can afford you, and be done with it.

Sound advice 👍
