·I'm new to the brand, and in reality on the hunt for a 376.0806, the Mark V, but during my searches i keep deviating and stumbling upon these 'cheap' old watches that always catch my eye. At this point, i've accepted it as inevitable—fated—that i will eventually make a silly decision and impulsively buy one of them. So, how does this fare on the junk-o-meter? Does it look original, how botched is the polishing, would it be best passed up on for a more pristine model at a higher price? It's listed at <450 usd, potentially with room to negotiate closer to 400. I'll add that i find the patina charming and, with watches this dated (1959), i actually enjoy some of the wear and even damage so long as it generally looks good and functions properly—i'm mostly worried about the movement and any drastic replacements, etc.
