especially if you have the sharp faceted cb66 with 1506/16.

 

All your posts are porn to my eyes...

 

Not for a long time now buddy!

 

Do you guys think this a bit too much polishing for the price?
Other than the case, dial looks great!
Hands may need some lume stabilisation to prevent further decay?
Replacement pushers and crown.

"CB case facett lines ( flat top) still present. "

i am struggling to agree with this.

 

i know, it is hard to photograph with my camera. have just added one daylight picture. and here it is as well....... all other questions are answered in the listing. the facett lines are there. some better than others. if you hold it in your hand, you can better see it . answers rgd. crown and pushers are answered as well. and outside ebay there is always a reduction due to their massive fee increases..... kind regards. achim

 

Lines are there, but unfortunately they really lost edge and texture just like the lug. In the end it's about whether you like the watch as a whole or not. Browse through this thread and see for yourself if it's what you want. For comparison: unpolished CB case.

 

My CB lugs... mostly unpolished.

 

Those are frickin sharp!

 

Hi there,
Thanks for taking the time to chime in here.
I'm not looking to doubt your knowledge or item description, just want to learn about these details:
I thought the crown on your watch is a later 24 teeth crown? I only have the MWO app, not the book, but what I've found was that only the 24 teeth "flat foot" logo crown is correct for any 321.
The "wide" 24 teeth one came into production in 1970 and was used starting from 142.022-69 models.

I'd like to hear from you guys if this is correct.

 

BTW: found the original pushers, they sent back. might end ebay, have all fitted and re list .....
and a general observation: it is a matter, how you collect. i`ve always traded up in the last 25 years. if rare ones come to the market, i buy them. even in non 100% condition. 2 ways after that: try to find the correct parts to make it 100% or wait, until the next better one comes around. and they always do. I buy that one and sell the other one, which has risen in price since. and that might be a good idea now as well; wait until next year and what that moon landing anniversary will do to Speedmasters from the 60`s, who were on the wrists then. kind regards. achim
