    This was brought into a local jewelry store to scrap. Ironically, has "lrd" inscribed on the clasp, which just happens to be my initials! Band is unbranded but marked 750 on clasp. It appears to be same age as the watch. Beautiful original honeycomb dial. Any info on the watch or band is appreciated, as well as info on value. Sorry to be that guy, but can't find any 2659s that have sold with this dial and in this condition, or with a stretch rivet 18k band. Thanks!

    Sort of. Ended up robbing the springs out of a sicura rivet band and used them on the band. Had a local jeweler do some laser welding work. It ended up being functional, but not perfect.

    I’m not going to be much help except to say - she’s a beauty! The initials put the icing on the cake.
