    I'm trying to zero in on the calibur of this watch:

    http://www.ebay.com/itm/252272008214?_trksid=p2055119.m1438.l2649&ssPageName=STRK:MEBIDX:ITPurchases made through these links may earn this site a commission from the eBay Partner Network

    My knee jerk reaction is it's a 463 due to the Date, and hands.. but that dial wouldnt be right (correct?) it seems like most of the 463's have just the markers not numerals.

    Then I turn to a 505 from the 50's but that wouldnt be right because the hands are not pointy like the 50's era hands.

    Frank maybe?

    Can anyone help? I'm pretty much a rookie at this but I'm very interested in this watch.

    Is 350 a good deal on this one?

    I think you mean 563 caliber. Dial could have been switched if damaged. Not a 505

    Unless you can see condition of the movement. I wouldn't buy as it could be poor

    I wouldn't buy anything from a seller that includes this in the terms of sale:

    "DO NOT OPEN A CASE BECAUSE I WILL CLOSE MY ACCOUNT AND I WILL NOT LOSE ANY MONEY NO REFUNDS NO RETURNS ALL SALES ARE FINAL"
