    I don't know how collectible this reference is but it looks to be in decent shape for being 50 years old and it comes with bracelet. Anything that jumps out--other than the worn medallion--that I'm missing (polished case)? It has a BIN price of $549 but I think I can get it lower. Your thoughts are welcomed.

    Way too much time on the polishing wheel

    Noted. How much is polishing vs. wear?

    +1 on Standy's comment.
    Dial also appears possibly a bit washed out.

    Case and medallion are over polished.
    Case should look like this ( Google pic ) image.jpeg

    yes, it has been polished quite a bit. I think the pictures have been lightened a touch. that would concern me. it looks to incluse the classic gay freres bracelet. very nice. I guess it would depend on your personal tolerance for polishing and the warranty the seller was offering.

    all in all, I think you can do better.

    I know where one like @STANDY is, for $450 in great shape with BOR bracelet.

    Let me know if you are interested and I can check with the dealer to see if he still has it.
