Considering this Snowflake but need an expert!

To me this crown looks off, not “sinched” properly. Is it just me, maybe the photo quality?

need more pics. That looks like a newer 703 crowns which don't always have the "crimp". The case also looks overly polished.... again I have spent 30 seconds on this so need more pictures to get more views.

The crown guards looks over polished but the oppisite side of the case could be decent. More pictures please. The crown was probably replaced when serviced.

Isn’t it the later monobloc 704 crown ?

I thought it may be a 704 monoblock as well. Looks huge in the highly polished crown guards. Looks a bit jelly mold in the CG region! Probably not a bad one to miss OP!

I think you dodged one looking at the crown guards. Just out of interest how much was it on sale for or what did it sell for if it was an auction?

It was listed on another forum for $5700

So really, for me, just being over polished was reflected by the price. No bracelet either though.

sure... all I was getting at is the modern crowns don't have the crimps like the 702 or the 700 which are found on snowflakes.
