Perfect dial and a sharp case. Someone is going to get a nice watch soon.

Not bad, if what you like are perfect original dials with beautiful patina and amazing, unpolished cases.

It was a nice example of a very late piece 7million serial.
It still shows it as for sale. You could definitely go a lot worse and be hard pressed to find something better at that price.... I actually know where there is to my mind a better example and it is $500 cheaper, plus it has the straight second hand (3.7mill serial)...let me know if you want to know where, and I have no association with the seller and have never bought off of him.
