Opinions on this 1655 Straight Hand

Hi All,

I'm considering this 1655. Any input would be much appreciated!

Best,

Nice example. What's the asking price? Date wheel looks to have been replaced, but minor point. Should be brushed metal, I believe, like my MK2 below.

Lots of good info here: http://stefanomazzariol.blogspot.com...freccione.html

Actually found a full set for 22k. Mark II. Not a straight hand but looks legit:

Stunning example with super fat case. I've been in that shop. I didn't buy anything, but they had some very nice watches when I was there.

So, what happened, and why didn't you buy it?
I'm interested, if it's genuine, authentic, and that straight hand isn't something they bought at a 2nd hand shop (excuse the pun....)

You seem to have done some good research . . . and I'd love to follow you around with this search. I'm interested in a really nice 1655 for myself, but there sure seems to be lots of fakery going on with this one...
