·The El Primero 3019 I was looking at on eBay was pulled back by the seller due to an error in the listing, so I continue my search for an affordable vintage El Primero.
Found another one that sure looks great, from the right timeframe for me ( 1960's ) at what looks to be a good price point
Because I would rather keep looking than talk myself into a "deal" that really isn't - I'm hoping some of the members from Planet Zenith will give me their input on this one......
Is this a desirable reference?
Is the 1960's dating accurate?
Price seem about right?
Any concerns that I might easily be missing ( that's the reason for this post 😕 )
Thanks.
PS I asked the seller's permission to post this here
Seller's description:
1. Watch was bought in 2015, serviced in 2016. Running very strong even though accuracy is not tested, chronograph functions perfectly, quick-date setting works perfectly.
2. All original: dial, hands, lume, pushers & crown, with original bracelet & endlinks. Bracelet is short, fit a 17cm wrist.
3. Case is very sharp, unpolished, with some thin scratch on body, bezel & crystal.
4. Dial is really lovely with thin linen texture on the dial, and circular finishing on the sub-dials. This finishing is quite hard to photograph (some photos are taken with sharp macro lens to show the dial finishing, so the scratches on crystal looks more defined than in real life, in fact, the dial is perfect WITHOUT SCRATCHES). 6 o'clock sub-dial is smaller than the other 2 sub-dials, which is very lovely.
5. My price is $2400 shipped worldwide via DHL Express.
