··Mrs Nataf's Other SonOnly you can say if it is worth that much to you.
Amen. Valuations be damned. This isn't an investment, it's a hobby. Can you wear it and be happy seeing it on your wrist or is it always going to nag? And I'm NOT editorializing here - I have a few frankens in the box.

·quick update, MB is responding, salesman was checking with his 'experts', agreed the caseback is from an early universal
and
Everyone I spoke to told me the watch is worth the $7,500 even with the wrong case back.

·It is not the money it is the object, you work long hours to accumulate money you trade that for an object you desire, There is no imperfection in your work your money why trade for something less than your own personal efforts!
Matt Bain is reasonable, although probably not anxious to take it back if you press hard he will, I believe

We should have a version of this "cheat sheet" in the Zenith section right here on OF, for easy reference (I hate having to make extra clicks.)
If only we could prevail upon the author to provide one. 😗
