It looks like it is in need of a complete restoration. I wouldn't bid on it unless you like headaches, but if you must, maybe $200 at the most. | ||

I can not believe it. The watch sold for $700+ dollars. I, however, did not participate in the auction. As always, thanks for the advice. You provide an invaluable service. | ||

That is totally ridiculous. Glad you didn't bid. The back is totally worn and the dial needs to be repainted. It will never be nice even if you throw $400 at it. | ||

with the vertical crosshair running through the logo and text - isn't this a redial to begin with? |
