    I am sure this one needs no intoduction. Purchased on the 'bay about 2.5 years ago and mentioned on this forum.

    See attached forum link which can also take you back to the original ebay ad:

    I think the patina is great, and I am also including a NOS dial with the sale in case you do not think the patina is great.
    Also included are a NOS crown and old, date appropriate buckle. The included hands were sold to me as NOS but upon close inspection I do not know if this is true as the plating seems too thick and they are missing the bevels I see on the original. So I will include the hands but I cannot vouch for their honesty...

    Dial: lovely (IMHO) please see pics

    Movement: some discoloration but no mangled screw heads and appears to be in good shape. I will time it later today. Please assume it needs a service. Time was checked against the time.gov site and watch has lost 12 seconds in 25 hours.

    Case: good with exception of some corrosion on case back. I suspect, but am not sure, that it may have had a very sympathetic rebrushing of the midcase. All contours and bevels are crisp and intact. And this watch may actually be unpolished, but since I am unsure I will not advertise it as such. Tiny ding at tip of 5:00 lug, almost impossible to see with naked eye.

    NOS dial and crown included in sale. Hands too, but I do not know if they are "honest" so just throwing them in...

    My pics tend to accentuate flaws and I am pretty sure that you will find this watch nicer in person.

    Now reduced to $5100/ONRO for all the above. PP friends or bankwire.

    Fedex/ParcelPro to lower 48 is on me, outside continental US will split shipping with buyer.

    Please don't hesitate to ask for more pics.

    Cheers,
    Todd

    Beautiful but I hope that’s a carpet fiber or dog hair on the balance. ;)
