Curious as to peoples thoughts on this one, reminds me of my speedmaster MKII, its a 1968 model and comes with box and papers, chronograph is not working and current bid is about £800, really like the look of the watch just want peoples honest opinions if its worth a punt or not
How can someone with an Escort Mexico as an avatar not give it a punt?
But in any case I'd say it's well worth a try.
Fastest Escort I've driven was an RS Cosworth, but sadly my job was not to drive it quickly but to report back to an offshore buyer that it existed and was the real deal. It was then dismantled and dispatched to the new owner in several crates, each carried by a different shipper. I spent some time navigating in UK road and stage rallies in an Escort in the 1970s, but it was a 1300 and horribly over-carburetted by the owner who thought "bigger carbs mean more power". Only with a lot of other expensive modifications sucker
Do you have any more pictures. All I can see from that is that it’s likely in reasonable shape, the case like it may be decent and it comes with a nice box. More detailed photos are required to assess the actual watch.
I tend to think along the lines of, “original box and papers are nice, but they should enhance a nice watch. No point in having a nice box but a naff watxh”
