Unless the seller has a reputation for vintage watch sales I wouldn`t touch this one,not to mention that it`s probably a fake.

I wasn't in complete agreement over all the aspects of this watch but had my own issues with it, but that's one reason why I'm here. To look stupid and learn from you guys.

Don't get me wrong, I have no problem looking stupid and I bow to the experience of yourselves and others, protecting others.

I hope that the buyer(s) that backed out post a mention. That would be very cool.

Good job and well done on following it through until the end.

...if my memory serves me correctly, this one was taken down one other time.

As usual, thanks Stan for your help.
I never saw this model before.
For example, the wrong "squared plexiglass" would have ring a bell.

Stan, that case looks like those being sold at the forbidden website. Good call as it was definitely counterfeit.
