Based on the feedback, I will go ahead with the purchase - thanks again 😊

Congrats and well done!!

Certainly. We have agreed on 10,475 USD including shipping and taxes (which makes it the cheapest one in EU on Chrono24). The model is a P-serial, so from around 2000-2001 with lugholes and SEL’s.

And thanks again to everyone for the replies. I will certainly post pics when it is received

It’s an amazing watch! I am wearing today mine - K serial from 2002 lug holes and Solid End Links oyster bracelet. I bought since then a jubilee bracelet from AD and sourced many serif inserts.

Looks good. Forget all the drama, and buy the watch YOU like.

I'd say it's in great shape; the most telling to me is the crown guards which generally look more tapered on over polished watches. Here they are large and look untouched! Also, the bezel seems sharp which is another good indication. The only negative is the extend that the pins are visible in the lug holes but that doesn't necessarily indicate over polishing. Frankly at a good price I'd jump on it!!!

Huge congrats! Looks stunning.
I dont know why some folks provide false information without explaining any details on how they have come to that conclusion.

Fantastic watch! Virtually impossible to tell if replaced or original dial since it should be born with a luminova(Swiss made) dial and a replacement dial to that would also be identical anyway, and so it does not matter, everything is as it should be, and the case looks fantastic.
Wear in best health.
