Hi OF,

The title is quite a handful but this is what I am after and may be a WTB I have to be quite patient for. Some may have seen that I recently acquired one but unfortunately I had to return it. The reason being there was an undisclosed dent on the dial. I would much rather find a piece that has the original date stamped GF ladder bracelet but in an effort to not limit myself, that is not a deal breaker. Condition of the piece, however, is key.

Below are pictures of the piece I briefly owned as an example because it really was in really good overall condition.



And if anyone is wondering where the dent could possibly be, it was hidden under the minute hand between the 1 & 2 o'clock indice.



I have saved and open searches for these everywhere but I am trying to find one locally on OF for the time being. Thank you,
Aaron

That dent sucks! What a heart-break.

Best of luck on your hunt, Aaron.

Thanks! And yeah, I was really bummed over it. Embarrassingly, I missed it for the first several hours of ownership; however, most of that time I was viewing the dial indoors, where it was much harder to see. I had even set the time to 10:07 indoors, so I completely missed it when I went outside. It wasn’t until later I saw it and it broke my heart. The eBay seller blamed the “ham fisted eBay authenticators” for it but I blame the mini mall battery changer they paid (receipt included and I looked them up) to “fully service” the El Primero movement. Which, was also a quite a mess. It was just an unfortunate purchase and one I was initially really excited about.
