Thoughts on this Chronograph ~1959?

I'd appreciate your thoughts on this chronograph -- primarily condition and value -- that I have a chance to buy from a highly reputable seller. Don't have a pic of movement. Plastic wrap around watch.

Thank you for any guidance!

looks like a 6238 which is a pretty rare watch I can't offer you any advice more than use the reference number to check out what these go for on the usual sales sites. Looks nice!

What do you think?

It's ok. Personally I'd look further for a better dial. Lume doesn't look great imho.

Cool. Also rust spots at 80 and 240 markers.

Other thoughts?

The dial condition would be enough for me. It's not a bad watch per se but 30k is a lot of money and I would want a nicer watch even if it would cost me more and take longer to find. Each to their own though.

You can do better for $30k. Dial has some condition issues.
