Not really. The link would normally take you to an eBay page with "Invalid Item" if the auction had been pulled. Your link just doesn't work.

What's the auction number?

Besides a refinished dial as noted by the seller, the watch looks to be in good condition for its vintage.

MY OPINION - I would not buy this watch. As Springer pointed out, refinished dial (altered). Also, TO ME, it looks as if someone tried to "clear" the numbers on the case (w/shaky hands of course) for easier reading.

I would stay clear.

Icon20 Well...

Hi all!

Hope you and yours are doing well!

I know very little about these watches, yet...but...

Is it just me or the photo angle that makes the Rolex crown at the top look slightly askew and the numbers in the date box look a bit off also.


K.B.

Hi Crystallis,

Welcome to the Forum!

I see what you mean about the numbers, it does seem not to be aligned correctly.

The crown looks fine though..
