This one wants the 7 of 9 (heh) bracelet.

You are the bracelet wizard, sir, I doth my hat. Or nightcap, whichever. 😀

I only know that because I owned a 14700-1 that had said bracelet on it!

Ah well, the hunt is most of the fun. I'm already considering a more worn 14701 as a part resto-project and then finish it with the BoR, debating whether to go for it or not doesn't come on bracelet shown in top image):

The 'SWISS MADE' at the 6:00 almost seems over-applied, like a zealous touchup - what do you guys think?

Could be the angle of the photo. Surprised if someone’s gone to the trouble of redoing ‘Swiss made' but not bothered with the possible wear on the edge of the dial between 12-1 and 4-6, the crystal scratch across 12-1 or the metal bracelet damage to the lugs (unless that’s the fringe from an old strap).

Having said all that, I’d be tempted, subject to price.

no extract/Wrong crown on a 166.024, should I be worried?
