Outside of the date wheel looking suspicious, anyone spot anything else that looks fishy, sorry for the lack of pics but this is all i got. If it's cheap enough i might take a shot on it.

I think the cyclops is distorted from polishing

The second hand hasn't moved in all the pics. It's kind of nice to see that it has moved to know it is in working order. I see that the bracelet is in different positions in each photo, so it is not the same photo blown up to 3 different sizes. And the date wheel/cyclops is magnifying differently. That date wheel/cyclops looks very suspicious.

Interesting point.

Indeed, i noticed the date mag right away, never considered polishing. Also appears to be a spring bar showing, perhaps another sign of too much polishing. Also the bracelet is interesting/different. Assuming the movement checks out, what would be a fair price for this beater?

Can you get pics of the movement? What's it got... a Tudor 2824?

It's the more sober version of the Ranger II. The problem with these is that if the integrated bracelet breaks, you'll have a hard time finding anything else to fit.

Thanks Expat beast, what would one in this type of condition go for?

Old Expat Beast · 27 July 2016, 10:48 AM

Depends. How much is the seller asking?

Kingsking · 27 July 2016, 10:48 AM

asking $1000 Canadian funds but open to negotiate

Old Expat Beast · 27 July 2016, 10:52 AM

That's not bad. I'd want a return option though, in case that bracelet is in poor condition or not long enough (extra links would be hard to find).

Thanks for the opinion, i know from being an OQ owner replacing integrated bracelet/finding links isn't cheap or easy.
