    It looks like a Kirk Rich redial. They do nice work.

    Hi

    Please confirm the diameter of the case in mm not counting lugs or crown. Also what is the strap size for this watch in mm ?

    Thanks

    Bill Sohne

    I believe it's 34 mm, and takes a 19 mm strap -- it would be the same as my 6085, I'm sure.

    Hello @banner gunner - I have sent you a private message with that information. No further price reductions. Priced to move, and with plenty of room for a retail buyer or collector. Transitional reference, proper bezel for -1 model, very high condition touch up to dial executed at a high level of accuracy. Like new english swede strap valued at $155. Shipping is paid by seller & piece is exactly as presented in this thread.

    Best,

    Thomas

    Just curious since this wasn't mentioned in the original post, what exactly is this kind of touch up?

    I think @ulackfocus called it out earlier:
    "It looks like a Kirk Rich redial. They do nice work."
    But I get your point too..

    To avoid confusion, this should just be stated within the 'dial' paragraph of your description. Not everyone will read all the comments.

    Well surely nobody on OF would want to do that!
