Am I missing something?

I know its an old listing from the bay, but are gilt dial 1016s going for as little as $7000??? It looks like an original gilt Type 1 dial and the seller claims its original. Sounds too good to be true?

I saw the sale too and was shocked. Someone got a killer deal for the awesome gilt 1016.

Was it this one? Bear in mind, he had listed this before at least a couple times and reduced the price significantly after it appeared to have sold.

No, a gilt 1016 is not going for 7,000 regularly.

For what it’s worth I bought a 1680 from them a few years back with no problems

Unfortunately, not all gilt dials are equal.

Is the dial legit? That’s a lot of watch for the money nowadays. I like that degraded look of the black paint on the dial

HQ Milton would call it “Martian Dust”.
