    Seller is asking 350. Photos aren't awesome, serial on the movement consistent with early 50's claim.
    The household Secretary of the Treasury has blessed the transaction if someone who actually knows something concurs its an OK deal.

    Don't let the cat out of the bag as to source. If you do, somebody will likely jump on that like a duck on a June bug! The usual cautions apply, of course. And allow that it may need work when you get it. Good looking watch!

    That would be a no brainier for me, given that it does not require a massive movement fix you'll come out aces.

    This one has potential. Dial, case and movement look to original and correct.

    Just remember that you have to factor in at least $100 for service.

    A nice one for $450. Hopefully, no further issues.

    Would go to maybe $500 because of the box. Looks like a nice one.

    Here it is, a quick wrist pic.
    Taking in for service but after a few hours running solid.
    Bracelet is the stretch type and a tad too tight for my wrist so looking for a nice dark brown leather strap for wear.

    Black, brown, tan, natural or burgundy, you can change your straps on this beauty to match your shoes/belt!
    Just get that spring-loaded lug scraper off of it!
    Congrats from your northern brother (Mizzou).

    Seriously considered moving to Springfield a couple years ago. Run through there to watch Sporting KC.

    Thanks for the help. It's home with a new strap. My buddy Howl seem jealous. Secretary of the Treasury was impressed by oohhs and aaahhs over the watch at the shop.
