It's a neat/rare watch. But the dials "patina" definatley is a huge turn off for me. If its a firesale low price I'd get it, I feel like price and how much you like it should make the ultimate decision. Even though the dials desirable, condition is key, and this dial is not very good.

I think it's a great looking vintage watch. There not going to be pristine when there that old. Love the bezel.

Rare to see one like this one in what looks like 100% original condition, the + crown is right for the year.
50s Big Bubble Back. worth a lot of $
Checked two sources Rolex dating both Dowling and ANO, I think 1952, also based on the value!!!!
Very rare in that original condition, This watch is worth a lot, we are not allowed to do evaluations here, but trust me on that.
Do NOT allow anyone to mess with it!!
