Hi
Its quite a nice piece.
This is a great vintage model.
The price on these is pretty stable...
I would put the price on this model around the $10,000 mark.
The case/lugs look to be in very good condition, the faded thick font bezel and tritium pearl adds to the character of the watch.
One thing that appears though is the patina on the hands is slightly lighter than the dial markers, but this might just be the light angle..
Overall it looks like a great piece.
I've been wearing my 1665 for the last month every day, and it is fantastic.

Very nice looking watch, I would not worry aboyt the hands, the seem to patina less than hour makers on most watches. Not 100% of the time, but enough that it's accepted as common.

I can't help on price, I'm sure Lol-x is right on

Good luck (ask for some more pics of the dial/hands - different angles)

Thanks Pav

Yes $ is generally understood as 'dollars' and the most typically quoted currency in $ is United States dollars.

The hands are I agree replacement hands so the current market value of this watch would be less than $10,000.
