The seller claims it's the first "De-luxe" Pie Pan...

I have asked about the caseback and he said it is a plastic protecter seal which makes it looked marked?!

Does anybody have any early references to compare to?

 

AFAIK. 2699 is the first Piepan design produced and they are in De Luxe version only, that means the dials were in gold with mirror finish .

Here are some pics from a 2699 that I currently own

 

The one on eBay is a 2652, I guess.





and the dial should be inspected carefully before bidding .

 

Thanks Hoi. What do you think of this case? Does it look heavily polished to you?

 

The case looks ok but the dial is not. Normally, the dial of 2652 comes with a crosshair with dots at 1,2,4,5,7,8,10,11 o'clock markers.
The movement looks bad, too. There are signs of deterioration and the rotor is touching the caseback.

 

Yes, to be fair to the seller he just told me it could be refinshed. I was just curious as I really don't know very much about these.

 

Hoi, is that your textured example? (dibs)

 

Thanks Steve!

 

Sure do - especially 1, 2, 4, 5, 6, and 7.

...... but the hands are the correct length.

 

Opps

Here I have something much worse





but hands are always correct in length, Dennis

 

Must have been a Monday watch.

 

Here is a detail pic of my SS Connie 2648. That`s the way it has to be!

Thanks Reiner, I agree! But if I was in the money for one of these, it would have to be the De luxe and in 18k!

 

Hi Al,
I have both versions, but the SS version I like most.
What do you think of my knurled bezel 168.029 in WURW Today?

 

I like it! I have similar but it is being cleansed and serviced! This is before I sent it away...lume is original.

 

Have one identical which my dad bought around 1956, probably in México City. Haven't open the case to double check the 2699 model. It has a gold wrist band, which I believe is 18 Karat. (Wonder how much it is worth.)
