    Hello all - does anything looks grossly wrong with the following 2 watches listed on eBay?:

    Is it either worth taking a chance on? Any thoughts would be much appreciated. Thanks in advance

    Second is a redial. Certainly not worth going for.

    Difficult to tell dial condition on first one
    Certainly some mouldy degradation
    You need to be able to see all numbers and tachy scale and arrow
    Lugs slightly polished
    Wrong crown (fat Connie crown?)
    See recent thread for two good examples (mine and @dsio 's) but both have different crowns - not sure which is correct
    These watches are few and far between with good dials due to lack of moisture resistance - hence the redials and degraded dials

    Hope that helps

    My crown is definitely wrong, the correct one is a flat thin coin edged crown, it's just difficult to grip and hard to find.
