·The dial has some spots of tarnish, and the minute marks are worn. And the glass is also scratched up some.

··Color Commentator for the Hyperbole.It’s authentic but: The case is over polished and the dial, while not terrible, is unattractive for a gold watch. I’d be curious to see the movement because the dial staining has the look of moisture intrusion. Get it off that horrid bracelet as it’s grinding ant the inner lugs. Get it serviced. It might clean up a bit. Don’t try to clean the dial.

·How about some context for the forum? Is this your watch? An inheritance? Something you are considering as a purchase? If so, in an auction or fixed price listing? Serviced? Not serviced? What type of seller? What is the asking price?

Considering buying the watch from a private seller, the asking price is $1,500. I feel like that is steep for that condition. Not been serviced since he’s owned it in 2009, but he said it is keeping time well. Is it worth buying and fixing it up? I’d definitely put a nice band on it and get it serviced and cleaned professionally. What would you all recommend?

·The crown is IMO not original.....you/we need more and better pictures. Always, when ever you buy 😉
And : I doubt the 14kt. Or is the hallmark on the last picture confirmed? Some coutries had import-marks, so: watch out!

·Not a $1,500 watch in my opinion, especially unserviced. And Fallout Boy is right that the crown is also not correct for the watch. I would continue to look for a better example.
