Incoming OQ

I bought this from the bay for a decent price. What do you guys think? Any comments would be appreciated.

I am partial because I love OQ, but I must say I like this one.

Beautiful! It looks to have lost its original chamfers, but I guess that's to be expected with vintage gold. Can't beat an open 9!

Thanks guys. Currently the watch is stuck in the East due to storm. I will update you guys when it arrives. Hopefully everything checks out OK. This is my 4th daydate, so I was looking for something different. The dial really caught my attention. It doesn't look like it is in pristine condition, but I got it at a good price. Worst come to worst, I could return it or wear it as a daily beater. I notice the lume has bled onto the dial, is that something to be concerned?

Just keep an eye on the dots. I see quite a lot of OQs with missing ones, and if they drop through the date hole you're in trouble, as there is more mechanical movement inside an OQ than most people seem to realise.
