·Well what a find, regardless of its condition! As an appreciator of "patina", I'm excited to see how well it can be cleaned up.

·Yeah the crystal obscures a lot of the dial so I am interested to see what it would look like!

·UPDATE
I have found and purchased a fully working 501, period correct movement, should received it in the next few days. Going straight to the watchmaker afterwards!

·Some people take this too seriously. I'd love to find something like this with a story and have it as an interesting conversation piece. It has a post apocalyptic vibe that makes it unique and it certainly has a lot of character. Let's see how it cleans up and hope it doesn't turn ugly.
I'd happily spend 500 USD to make this functional though.

·I absolutely love it! Gotten some stupid high offers for it, but not even dreaming of parting with it. Today, I found and purchased a fully working period correct 501 movement for the watch!
I’m genuinely interested in how the market would value something like this, so if you’d be willing to share the approximate level of offers you’ve had it’d be really interesting. I’ve got a very tidy 2913-3 and my feeling is the demand for these has cooled much like the speedy market.
