·Hello All,
My hunt for the perfect 166.010 within my budget continues.
I found this one from Japan for $812.60 USD
That's after a 10% off deal for Mercari Japan.
I can get a further 5% off with a coupon that brings the price down to $791.00 before shipping and handling fees etc.
My main concern is that there are no photos of the movement, and I believe I would be unable to communicate with the seller.
Is it worth taking the chance on this watch, or should I keep looking?
To my eye, the case and bracelet look good. It seems to lack the overpolishing that many of them unfortunately have. But then again the lighting in the photos makes it a little hard to tell.
Also, out of curiosity, does anyone know any information about these 166.010s with no onyx in the indices and hands?
They seem to be less common, and I actually kind of dig the look. I haven't been able to find any information about these. I suppose they would be less desirable to many people without the onyx, but I am no pro.
Anyways, please let me know what you guys think. Thank you.
