    This one has seen plenty of polishing, and original contours are faintly discernible. Dial presents well. Blue steeled hands are (possibly?) later replacements...they are exactly the same size and shape as plain steel MC hands, but I don't think I've seen blued minute and hour hands on these before. Perhaps someone with knowledge can weigh in on this issue? Solid RG bezel is a lovely complement to the dial. Dial is nice overall with a few small blemishes and one tiny paint bubble that I have outlined in one of the pics.

    Top pusher needs a very firm click to initiate the seconds hand, a weak click will leave you stranded.. but overall seems to be running well and keeping decent time. Please assume it needs a service, as I have no idea when this was last done. Maybe decades...

    Asking $2400. Fedex/ParcelPro included for U.S sales. Overseas shipping and insurance on the buyer.
    PP F+F (or you pay fee) or Bank Wire
    Can supply references.

    Thanks OF.

    p.s. Please disregard my uncertainty about the hands. They are correct for the watch

    That rose gold bezel, dial and handset are lovely, and the rose gilt movement matching the bezel is beautiful.
    Actually despite the polishing it looks really nice.

    Very nice! And a highly recommended seller.

    I have owned one of these with a Rose gold bezel, and they look terrific.

    First time I've seen one in steel and gold, I can't believe how under appreciated these are.

    Would you be kind enough to change the prefix from FS to Sold?

    Just tried to, but am unable to delete the "FS" prefix from the edit box.
