Opinions on this 1655 Freccione (1972)

[rollyp]

Hi everyone, I'm considering purchasing this 1655 straight hand and was hoping to get some opinions on it. Serial number is 3,052,xxx and the owner tells me the dial, hands, crown, etc. are all original. What do you all think? Thanks in advance!

Hi,
I can only tell you that the bezel is a replacement, not a MK1 or MK2 you would expect on a straight hand?
Case and dial look nice, but I believe the bracelet should be a 7836 on this early model.

Thanks for the input. To me, the bezel looks to be a Mark II if you examine the top of the number 1.

I love the Patina on the Dial.

you could be right
I would ask for close-ups from the dial and the lugs, especially the 4 o'clock lug and lughole's.
His asking price is not exaggerated considering what they are asking for a straight hand nowadays
