your opinions are most welcome
thanks,

Link or photo please, sir.

 

Sorry, probably could have told you without the pic. It bugs me not having a case number. It's a unique identifier that's lost forever. I have one or two otherwise nice watches with polished-off numbers and they irritate me.

 

It would be nice to have all or any numbers on the back but I will tell to what, if the dial, hands, case, movement all check out I think that should be reassuring enough to go for a potential buy . I have bought watches with no numbers on the the case back but on closer examination in a certain light some times you can faintly pick them out with a eye loop.

 

This is a watch that I own, beautiful movement, dial has great patina, hands are old but nice patina as well..
i have looked with both 3 and 10 power loupe...no signs of numbers..

 

Sounds good david your mark II A386 are getting hard to fine do you have a more pictures

yesterday...

 

And tonight, type C...

 

Nice patina on some of the hands, dial and lume, it has a replacement tachymetre ring and crown, nice sunburst brush stain on the lugs very nice

 

Yes, it is a hodge lodge of sorts, but a beautiful dial...

 

A little harsh? Maybe, but I'll have to +1 that...it just doesn't look right with such a beautiful watch!

 

a LITTLE harsh indeed! There is some significance to the so called wrist crap...the 3 monkeys bead is for my three monkeys (sons), and the colorful bracelet is a gift from my lovely bride. And yes, I live on the beach everyday, at least in my head I do!

 

And today's watch...

happy Friday!
