Really nice, eminently collectible. With the box and papers too. Pity it's in the USA. The strap is really interesting - just like the ones in the old Omega adverts. Where can I get a light coloured strap just like that?

That strap with the original buckle is hard to find and pricey by itself.

Does it protect the original finish or something?

It shows it hasn't been messed with.

Agreed, but why is the balance a lighter color? Do you think it was replaced?

Also, there is a rather large time gap between the movement production date of about 1957 and the final sale date in 1962 (per the papers). Might mean something, might not.

Just not very familiar with this particular caliber,

I think that's because the caseback has a notch to accommodate the crown - hence more air and more tarnish in the movement area close to that side. And the papers reference the correct movement number in the watch so no problems there. I think this watch is quite well preserved.

This is one of those watches -- and as of yet I don't have one in my collection -- that I suppose one would never service, nor wear! Just take out occasionally and look at... 馃

Gone for $1250...
Brother, how did you determine the offer price? I've never sold on ebay and only bought a couple dozen items, I need to learn the nuances.
Thanks

Or were you the buyer?

I think he might have had a little help on determining a fair offer. 馃槈
