It's about condition and originality, without quality scans our estimates are pointless.

Sorry to say that but ..."Thanks God mine is not like it !! "

It seems that this watch has suffered quite a lot, had some humidity at some instance, has a gold ring dial so its either a newer model or had a replacement, etc. What is the SN ?

I am NOT the expert, but I would pass.

Originally Spider dials were a flaw or defect...now the Internet has made them desirable!?

I share the same thoughts. What is the interest in the spider dial? Sorry in advance if I offend anyone but I just don't get the appeal.

I'm not all that into those "spider dials". I don't think the cracks look good.

Nah - not my thing

I understand the appeal of tropical and I personally love faded and beaten-up

But spider dials just seem to me to be on the verge of falling to bits

I actually think they look cool, but I'd be worried that bits would eventually break off and perhaps even get into the movement somehow. Also, I certainly would expect the price to be lower, not higher, than a regular dial.
