    I finally received a Mark II I had purchased internationally on eBay a month or so ago, due to customs delays at both ends and am excited to finally have it in my hands!

    In all it is a nice watch in honest condition, the factory finish can still be seen on the case, with some scratches and dents congruent with years of wear. And the dial which seems to be a B2 Dial (Close T 105.012 dial), is also in good nic!

    I had a hope that the movement may have been a 321 transferred (for some reason) into a Mark II case but no just a good old 861, so the feet on the dial would have had the been altered to fit the movement. After opening the caseback to see why the movement would start and stop there seemed to be a screw loose which was jamming one of the gears!

    Luckily it came out by simply turning the movement upside down, however I was wondering if anyone knew what the screw may be responsible for securing? After its exit, the movement seems to run fine but it will due for a service in the near future i think.

    I will add some better photo's of over the weekend when I get a chance

    Thanks,
    Ed
