And if they want to sell fast, cash talks. Offer £4K cash on the table and see what they say

I would also be careful with that cracked bezel-that scares the shit out of me...like waiting for money to fall off my wrist if I look at it wrong. I would be tempted to get a “service” bezel if st all possible and put that one in a safe place..I’m sure others here who have cracked bezels can speak to their confidence or lack thereof

You're right but that seems like a shame...one more step to wearing a less original/authentic watch... but as you say fair price so I guess it depends on how much one cares about originality/authenticity... everyone has their own view on that so I won't drag it out! Thanks for all your views...

In all honesty, I would buy it, wear the hell out of it and if you find another original you like better you can flip this could actually make money on it.

Fair point... I want a daily wearer that I won't freak out about...

Yeah, I’m not seeing why you haven’t posted wrist shots of your newly acquired 300 you got for £4K yet instead of talking to my sorry ass.

Is the insert cracked in two places [7 mins and 13 mins]? Nice watch though

Geoff[ I own the other one with a cracked insert😀]

It looks very nice, relumed or not, I would probably go for it

I don't want to start a war but is it fair to say that the large proportion of very good condition looking dials have been professionally relumed at some point???!
