·This one is not getting enough wrist time and so needs to go on the block. Pics tell the story.
Dial: Good. Despite the flaws that are amplified by the high rez pics, it's a really nice looker on the wrist. It's a busy enough dial so that all flaws, including the edge wear on the outer rotatating ring, are almost unnoticeable in the flesh.
Hands: Good shape with mild oxidation, relumed. Seconds hand may not be original as I've not seen any others with a red seconds hand. But the steel seconds hands that I've seen on other models appear rather generic, so if one wanted to swap it out,I think it would be rather easy.
Movement: Not serviced while in my posession and no idea of when it was last done. So please assume it needs servicing. Currently keeping reasonable time, and date snaps smartly into place at 12:00.
Crowns: original cross hatched
Crystal: Nice sized gouge at 6 minute marker. Please see last pic. It's on the lateral surface, so unseen while wearing or looking head on.
Case: 36.3mm. Appears unpolished but with many dings, scrapes and a bit of superficial corrosion on 5:00 lug. Please see the greatly exaggerated picture that makes it look horrible. I can assure you that it is not horrible.
Case back: Appears unpolished but worn. All lettering intact as seen in the pics. The wear on the back looks like this watch may have actually been used by a diver. It looks as if sand between wrist and case back could have caused it..
Strap: Replica (i.e. phony, not the real deal..)Tropic strap included
I did some price-researching on these and saw prices all over the place. Basically from $1200-$2000 for mostly inferior examples. Although the one on C24 for about 2K does look pretty nice..
Just reduced (again) to $600 ONRO
Shipping to lower 48 is on me. Overseas will split with buyer. But as I use Fedex/Parcelpro, please understand this can be expensive.
Thanks for the platform OF
Cheers,
Todd
p.s. Just after posting this I looked at the pics which greatly amplify all the flaws. As anyone who has dealt with me before will tell you, the watch you receive will look better in person..
