路Yeah, whoever took the pics for the auction needs to be fired because those pics look nothing like Jozz99 posted. Looks like a good pickup dial wise. Can take your time finding the correct crown.

路Yeah, the one you ended up getting is definitely a banger of a watch. Same when I picked mine up, saw the dial and condition, said "wasn't going to get much better" and if I didn't grab it, would be tough finding another in such good condition. Also came with the original green bezel which was icing on the cake for the deal.

路路@SpeedyBirthYearI've just taken delivery of this, on Nato for now as I need a couple of links added to bracelet, which I have. I took elephantcage's advice and bought the dial- I know the crown is wrong but I'm happy with it
Nice 2998! It鈥檚 not too far a stretch to call it good. Finding these is one thing, a nice dial is another and this one certainly has a nice dial to my eyes. Bezel is worn, but still pleasing. I like it.
The bracelet is a cool bonus too, especially if the end links are there as well?

路Thank you, I'm feeling lucky to wear it. I have the no. 6 end links, bracelet a little short for me, so I will be joining the many looking for a couple of 7077 links. I now understand there are many versions of 7077, mine is 1 61, no easy remove links but some sprung-I don't know if there are special tools available to open and close the links - another learning curve......may have to give it to an expert but I enjoy the satisfaction in at least understanding the work even if I don't do it.
