Looking for whatever information you guys have or think about this watch. Thinking about buying it but wanted to go to the experts first. Is the dial correct? Insert correct?

I can post what the asking price is if it’s not against forum rules.

Kingface66 · 7 June 2018, 09:18 AM

Got any photos?

Nikita70 · 7 June 2018, 09:19 AM

I have a picture but it’s telling me the files size is too big. Unfortunately I’m not good at reworking pictures. I’ll have to figure out how to do it.

Knowledgeable Ladies and Gents, Nikita70 has asked me to post this pic on his behalf:

Service dial, likely a service insert as well, case looks a little round but still thick... good even patina on dial and hands...

Not terrible unless you're looking for originality. You may want to pick up an insert with a little more fade to go with that patina... clean up the crystal with some polywatch.

Shiny1 · 8 June 2018, 02:21 AM

Doesn't look bad at all, looks good enough to me

Styles Bitchley · 8 June 2018, 06:59 AM

Got that Magnum P.I. feeling, Nikita?

Nikita70 · 8 June 2018, 07:43 AM

You know it Styles!

Nikita70 · 8 June 2018, 07:44 AM

Filip thanks for posting my picture!

Price is all about condition as you know. I simply cannot buy one mint because it would be top dollar. I think it’s reasonably priced, I can post the asking price if it’s not against the rules.

It’s on a new jubilee bracelet. I’d prefer an oyster but not a deal breaker.

Ignace Worang · 8 June 2018, 07:54 AM

Insert for sure is service...depending on price, it could be a good buy

Styles Bitchley · 8 June 2018, 01:15 PM

Looks like something you can wear the heck out of and not feel awful if it gets a scratch or two. I’ve seen many people post ballpark prices, BTW.

They’re asking $7k

HERITAGE82 · 8 June 2018, 10:31 PM

It looks great and is very fairly priced. A basic well done polish from the likes of LAWW (@$200 with shipping) and that's a $10K watch all day.

Styles Bitchley · 8 June 2018, 11:18 PM

Is it 1675 or 16750 matte? The hand stack thing always confuses me. I’d jump on it either way at that price.

Does the minute hand look a little short? Not a big deal but doesn't seem to reach the minute track

A case recut from LAWW is FAR more than $200 with shipping,Just the shipping is about $80 each way.

They have different levels of refinishing and the basic is $100 which they did on my 16710 and looks amazing. I believe shipping was $50 each way using their shipping labels.

Nikita70 · 9 June 2018, 10:07 AM

Very much appreciate the opinions. Anyone else wants to chime in please do so.

How do you tell if it is a service dial. My current knowledge on how to tell if it is service dial is when a supposedly t<25 serial watch dial got replaced with a luminova.

x2. Full case refinishing is $500 nowadays.
