If 2002 is considered vintage, then I am obviously getting old.

looks OK, the red portion of the bezel is faded beyond what mine is (circa 1996)

Besides the aforementioned refinish/polish work, the watch looks fine from here.
Box is fake however (and wouldn't be the correct one for that era/vintage anyway).

Mine is from 2005 and I have the same fade on it, previous owner lived in Florida. It depends how much sun your watch gets
Crown looks crisp, polish is not too bad, chamfers look good to me. Do you have any pics of the movement?
When was it serviced and by who?
What is the price he is willing to sell it for? Full set?

If the movement is good and you have the papers plus the service papers, I would say 8k is great!

Watch, in my opinion is genuine (as is movement)

If 2002 is vintage, hell - I'm practically nostalgia! Oh the pain, the pain.

I love this. Especially with the faded patina on the bezel.

A question:
I was offered one from 2000 with a new bracelet. How much should this affect price?
