been wrenching on 160X past 48hrs... in comparison, IMHO aftermarket dial & bezel. Rest is too fuzzy in pics to determine.

What year is it, early 70s?

yeah 60s would be plausible for the folded jubilee

Aftermarket rocks don't add much value afaik, weight might be there but hard to tell colour & at that size not worth assessing individually etc etc

If I did go for diamonds I kinda dig this red example :)

Dial not as overdone ;)

A thousand dollar watch with a lot of aftermarket parts.

If the movement is original it would be one that parts for repair are in very short supply.
