This beauty is for sale here first. I did ask a resident expert about pricing prior to listing. I have been on the fence about selling this one. Only selling to fund other purchases. Please excuse dust and poor photography skills. I could not capture the signed crystal shot, but I can see it with a jeweler's loupe. Appears all original down to the crown. Also appears unpolished or lightly polished in the past if at all. Sharp engraving on caseback. Service history, unknown, running and keeping time. I posted a wrist shot in the UG forum (if you are curious). Photos were taken in natural light and as you can see the worst part is probably the corrosion on the hands, which yes you can see, but in some lighting is not noticeable at all (see my wristshot in other thread). I am asking $1950 USD paypal'd and shipped in the CONUS, all others let me know and we can work something out on shipping.
Had a question about dial color...tracked down my other post with wrist shot for another comparison. It is a black dial, it can look a little chocolate depending on the lighting, the creamy tan markers and gilt writing probably push it that way also, but here is my wrist shot I refer to above and with another point of reference/looking more black here in my opinion
This one is being withdrawn. I sold another watch, freed up the funds for some more watch shopping and so I am keeping it for now. Will repost if I have a change of heart. Thank you to all interested parties.
OK back up for sale, not getting the time this deserves in my collection (which has gone another way), I do love this watch so it is tough to put on the block... Back up with some more direct sunshine shots $1750 shipped (will cover PayPal fees for established members).
