Opinion about this 16600

Hi guys !

Despite that I'm looking for a 14060, I'm also looking for a 16600.

Any wrong signal or red alarm about this one ? What would be in your opinion a fair price ?

Thanks mates !

As long as you’re ok with polished it looks nice. Not certain what’s going on with the link on the left, but that screw is either not flush, or they put the wrong one in.

Most likely polished without the screws in it and the screws are too long now

In the offer the seller shows it as NOS, never worn, it is a lie then ?

Its definitely been polished and IMO not done well. A new screw would never look like that on a NOS watch. Also where the spring bar is you can see its dished out. Thats from a polish where the person doing the buffing doesnt know what there doing.

It is a lie. That watch has been polished. There would be no reason for a NOS to look like this. One, it’s missing all of the stickers. This is before watches had to be de stickered. The bracelet screw issue is from being removed and reinstalled. It’s clearly the wrong size screw from a different link.

Most people want a NOS watch to put it in the safe. If you’re looking to do the same, way better options out there for an actual NOS watch. If you want to wear it, don’t spend the extra on NOS. Try tropical watches or HQ Milton.
