6050 DJ '57 Thoughts?

Looking at this watch. I have a thing for mid 50's pieces. Not sure why. Curious to see your thoughts on this. Asking $2800. Thanks in advance.

It looks like the SUPERLATIVE CHRONOMETER OFFICIALLY CERTIFIED was re-painted on

Keep in mind that in the 1950s, the dial printing wasnt always as crisp and defined as it is today. Even though the printing is rough, it may be original.

I have a '54 in decent shape and the Swiss is barely readable. Other than those issues, do you feel it's a good value or no?

Priced way too high with just a leather band on it IMO. But if you like it, send an offer and buy it.
