    Yup another newbie. I have been watching this model for a couple years. I see one now within reach. Real or fake? Not much info. but it's a quartz and "hoping" they are not as readily faked. Seems legit. cause seller uses personal business email addie and can be traced. Welcome thoughts. What puzzles me is the hands "appear" gold, but all I have seen are black.

    I want another wavy dial next - the Bond of course!

    Thanks. - M.

    It's real. The gold bezel models get the gold hands. Thoughts? Pictures can be deceiving, but that bracelet looks absolutely hammered and severely over polished. The case looks over polished, too.
    Bet on it needing at least a battery and pressure test, if not a full service. For comparison, I just bought one from a Japanese dealer for $530 in like new condition on leather. I think you can do better with a little patience. There are plenty of these on Ebay with best offer auctions.
