Crystal looks a bit beaten and no movement shots but what do you think?

It's not worth much more than the opening amount, but looks like an honest (yet less than perfect) watch. I'd call it a good daily wearer, except it's probably got a 36k bph caliber 431 and they require a little more maintenance than a garden variety 21.6k bhp Admiral of the same late 60's to 70's era.

 

Thanks for the opinion, I did have the opening price in mind when I saw it. I was rather hoping that you'd say a light polish, new crystal and a service would make it a worthy addition to my collection! I guess to you it's just a daily beater.

 

It's not a bad watch at all. If you're looking for a caliber 431 high beat, most collectors want the ones with the Ultra-Chron logo on the outside of the case back, and sometimes even a C-case.
