Hi guys,

again I would like to read all your advices about this watch below.

I would say it looks original to me - however a bit overpolished maybe - but I am not 100% sure I would like read all your comments and listen your experiences again.

Thank you for your advices in advance 😀

Cheers!

From those pretty terrible pictures I'd say the dial is nice and original and the case hasn't seen much work.

Looks nice overall.

Be aware that these aren't worth quite as much as the earlier, 60's models.

What do you think the reason behind the price difference is the technical parameters, rarity, demand or something else?

At the same time there were models offering much higher spec, such as chronograph and date complications, automatic and/or chronometer movements, dials with more elaborate step, pie pan and done dials, and more intricately finished cases.

This is an entry level model with a simple (albeit a solid and well regarded) hand wound, non chronometer grade movement, with no complications, a basic flat dial and a basic case.
