Yeah either to high a price with bad hands, or junky case and questionable movements for lower.... for 800 I could buy the one with good hands and dial, the new case, and a perfect bezel...
Found awhile back. I took a risk on a new seller,with horrible pictures but the hands and bezel looked to be in good shape. Most on eBay are trashed hands or bezel. 2problems off 45 minutes a day and the bezel ratchet is gone and the bezel free moves. Got a decent refund from the sellar claiming just serviced lol. Off to get restored soon. Lume still rocks but that has been noted on other watches from this reference. Question about the 24 hour hand being black or white centered though.
And finally off to be serviced.. now a strap19mm I believe. I got a black 2 stitch with white stitching but this needs something special. It’s fairly low profile so I worry about padding. Thinking light brown ostrich. What do you guys think? Hirsch Massai for example? https://www.hirschstraps.com/produc...watch-strap-in-gold-brown?variant=33530055688
Not feeling this strap the bone white stitch works on my Panda Speedy ... tried brown leather NATO and the C case and nato are poor combinations. I kinda like the idea of a blood red racing strap, with lots of small holes not the big hole variations. Brown does work though.
