Its not so beat up, just the dial is very cratered and no guarantee that the printing is later (as cratering didn't cause any distortion of the lettering, makes me always suspicious). Bezel is later replacement part. Case looks in good shape, ask for pictures of the serial and reference No. engravings between the lugs and close-ups of the caseback. The movement is ETA, should be no problem to service.

Trashed dial, probably from water damage. Replacement bezel. Case in good shape. I would buy sub-1,800, assuming no further water damage to case or movement.

Would love bigger / better photos.

Dial looks original,/ text looks bubbly too but better pics would help. Many people search for this look.

Lots of these early dials did this with no water issues. They were frequently replaced in service. BUT that dial may have been swapped in later. not sure if the 7021 have different feet than the 9411

Price is a tick high, IMO, if you are a fan of that dial aging (I am) and can live with the potential of it breaking a part further (I'm not).

Did I mention I would want better pics?

As far as I am aware this "bubbling" of the dial was a common error on some of these Snowflakes....They simply started deteriorating over time.

Thanks guys. Have asked better pics.

its a great watch.just get a better deal.the dials are generally bubbled on the real 7021s. its rare that a 7021 is not dammaged. you will never get a watch like this for less than $2k. 3 years ago maybe, but not now. its a great piece.

Unknown serviced black dialed 9411 with dial rot due to water damage (you can tell by the darker ring around the outside of the tritium indices and uneven aging which is common of water damage).

Condition of caseback (is there case rot), as well as condition of lug tips is key. 1973 is an early 9411 (I have a blue dial from 73).

$2600 is high for a 9411 black dial in this condition. Sub-$2000 is a no go nowadays on a snowflake. I'd say no more then $2200 though.

[harry in montreal]

just cases for snowflakes are $1000 and up. i have been trying to buy one!

this watch was on ebay for a few weeks at 2600 withno takers. its a good watch
