I went to look at the watch today. I'm at 95% pass at this point.
It's just not exactly what I'm looking for with the problems of the dial (chips at the 20, 25 and 30 minute marks), plus the hands not being in good shape. Sometimes, I know the hands age a little differently than the dial, but this is VERY different.
The patina of the dial looks stunning in real life. I would have bought it on the spot if it didn't have the other issues.
I absolutely LOVE the condition of the case. It's not polished and is used as it should be. One of the first things I'm looking for is the case to not be polished. Not saying that it can't be polished in the past, just saying I don't want it to look like it's just been polished and to be at least a strong case that hasn't been over polished.
Gai has it on consignment, so it's not that he put the money out to get the watch, which is good. I purchased my GMT from him and couldn't be happier with it!
He's actually leaving today for Switzerland for all the watch auctions.
