Original and unpolished with the seller stating inspection and service, fully functional with a 2 yr warranty. Steer clear or reasonable proposition? 18612C5D-32E7-4112-BAA8-A6E62F37D452.png 4D960347-6B9D-4FD0-96F7-0300279EB9CA.png 32282C9D-F28B-4AB8-9F88-69ED015D30BA.png CD890D8B-56CE-47B2-B798-BF098C285805.png 2E0960D5-EF68-4153-9CDB-8912F1997BFC.png

    Very tired looking with a stretched out and ill fitting bracelet. I would ask myself if this watch was just serviced why didn't they re-align the tachy bezel?

    that's around 1500 euro. Is there paperwork to prove a service? 2 year warranty on what exactly? Dial has seen a lot of sun and looks to be a bit spotty with lume particles. Bracelet is considerably stretched but look original is it a 1039 with 454 ends.This would make it an early one. The movement pic is awful and I can't tell the condition or the serial number from that. If recently serviced, the price is about in the ball park. for 250 Euros more, you're in the category of much better quality ones. I'm not sure if it might have been polished away back. The sunburst lapping on the case sides seems really faded or again just a bad pic...
