·Well the speed of both sales indicates a strong market even for less than perfect examples.

pretty strong price. The upper case corrector looks like a non matching replacement, moon disc replaced, dial is OK condition

·Minor quibbles but the second from top case corrector looks to not extend like the others, perhaps it's jammed down? Crown replaced? Are both pusher tubes/caps matching? I can't tell.
Anyhow small stuff, these are quite rare coming to market.

·n00b here but got curious: what are the indicators of a replaced moon disk?
The case serial dates to 45, which should have a moonphase disc with face. We haven't precisely nailed down the crossover to faceless moon discs, but it's definitely not this early. They were often replaced as the blue paint didn't hold up on the face versions. The blue paint has held up quite well on the faceless. Not the end of the world, and some people might prefer the blue pop from a faceless. Best of both worlds is to find a face version with blue paint intact, but that's quite hard.
