Hi everyone,

Very bad picture I know ... but this is the only one available ... price is very low ... so what do you think about this racing ?

Thanks in advance,



Stef

 

I am a fan of MkII's.

this one needs a service a new glass.

Also the case, in my opinion, needs refinishing. STS in UK have the special machine to do it, others may too.......but it needs the machine, otherwise don't bother. A polished MkII looks horrible. It needs the sunburst finish.
Here is a before and after....well almost....it's two watches but one is pre the other post.

yours looks fine for restoration. All depends on price

 

Hi, thanks for the answer

price is under 450 £

you think this one can looks Like the one "after / before"

 

i Don t Know anything about the mouvement ... The seller claims it runs very well ... As well the seller said the watch came with the original box ... Well ....

 

That's a very attractive price. Racing dial Mark 2 sold in USD 1500 - 2000 depend on the condition.
Even with service and part it would still consider good price. The movement is cal 861 IIRC so parts relatively readily available

 

Ok guys, the seller send me is bank account .. it s from Spain ... And there is a lot of "rip off" expérience in france with that .... so ... The low price and the strange attitude of the seller make me think it s a good rip of too ...

Really sorry for that !!! But i save 420 £

thanks for all

No paypal? Not good sign...... Good move to stay away. The price is too good to be true.
I've been lured into that kind of scheme like 5 times in past year. Thank God, escaped all, most with the help of forum friends here.

 

Yep, i m really dumb to think i can get a racing at this price ... But the most important is that i figure that before the payment ;-)

 

And Again sorry for the lost Time with this thread

 

Fully agree, that's what a forum of enthusiasts is for. Glad you posted this
