    Seller says case was polished in the past and it has a new crystal but everything else is original. My question would be does that seem legit and how high should I offer? Thanks in advance

    His description sounds about right to me. But the dial is clearly not great.

    Have you compared it to other examples of this reference?

    I like the patina. I'm a super novice. Just want to make sure that I offer fair and don't get ripped off. I'm looking for a vintage watch for my dad. One from the 1950s that he'll pass on to me and I'll pas on to my son. I love the steel cased 1950s with non matching colored hands. Looks wise this is beautiful to me thanks to the patina. Ive seen others with no patina and I prefer this look. Thanks for any advice you have

    $1450 with recent proof of professional servicing. I assume its negotiable. I like the professional service record as I'm super novice.

    36mm case I believe. Price is roughly 2x what I'd pay given the overall condition. Not really a collector's piece.

    Seems like a high price to me. Dial isn’t in great condition with spots and tarnish, but apparently looks legit to my eyes the dial. Overall I seen worse. But as I say, price would put me off.
    Crown is service crown, and case middle and case back refurbished and overpolished imho.
    Regards

    Would $1000 be a ripoff if I offer that?

    I cant find anything on any websites in the value range that the collectors here suggest.

    It has a proof of recent professional servicing. What is that worth?

    Depends on your location. I have a watchmaker who does it for EUR 225
