    The dial is actually ok, albeit with some staining, but the case is horrendous.

    Looks like the minute track has been cleaned away between 9 and 1.

    And yes the case has been polished to death.

    So overall not a total disaster. It is a shame about the minute track though. I think I can live with that and the polished case. What are your guesstimates about date? With it being a front loader I can’t check the ser no.

    I think DeVille started being added around 63, so mid-late 60's.

    Don't settle for that one. Be patient, add a bit more money to the pot and get a better example.

    Where are you located - US, UK, Aus??

    I’m in Kabul, Afghanistan at the moment; but I’m from the UK. My family home is in Belgium until at least September.

    Actually it is a total disaster, poor dial and ruined case.

    Why settle for mediocrity when if you're patient you can find plenty of decent watches.

    What's your hurry?

    I’ve bought three over the last two months, so no rush at all. I’m not sure if I’ll post them though haha
