are you OK w/ 34mm? Dial looks flawless, case looks goo, alot of stretch in the Jubilee that is normal.
Looks nice in the pics - always be weary on ebay unless you know the seller.

I had this watch

I bought one, identical bezel, oyster bracelet, in 1974. I had it until 2010.

I bought it for half MSRP of $350 (!!!) as part of an insurance settlement.

It disappeared in 2010 while I was in hospital.

"Rare" doesn't begin to cover it. Thus my Grail, a.k.a. My Precious..sss..sss

Thank you, TRF members. I'll keep an eye on it on ebay.

Ask yourself how long it's going to be until you see it again ;)

Then bid.

Just buy it!!!!

I have never seen one of those in the wild.

I have an 18k 1501 w/ ETB with a light brown version of that dial...looks great. Even at the smaller size it still looks great on the wrist.

Buy it!

I've only seen a few of those dials and they're gorgeous in person
