What are your general thoughts on this example including the dial, hands, and case? I'm considering this watch, I realize this is a vague post but I'm just looking for input. Do you see anything concerning?

I've never seen a dial end up like that without some damage.

witalit · 22 August 2018, 06:45 AM

Is this a custom dial possibly?

Oh! Well that's something to consider. Thanks!

Price is $3700 but at this point I'm going to pass...

“Common” in vintage watches that used laquer, doesn’t mean there is any damage at all to the movement etc. Some people pay a lot of money for that “damage”

Thanks, I’m familiar with spider dials and creamy markers.

Yup, just meant to share for others looking. Didn’t mean to direct that to you.

No worries

So did you pull the trigger yet or not? Looks like a cool watch with some awesome character.

I haven’t yet but I agree with you. $3700 seems fair. This watch is t on Crown and Caliber, but there are about half a dozen on that site from the ‘90’s with bracelet between $4200-$4700. Any feedback about C&C?

I’m leaning towards the spider.

No personal experience with them but also check HQ Milton (Jacek) gets some really cool vintage pieces. I am not affiliated with HQ Milton and never done business with him but he gets great reviews etc...

One of my favorite parts about my 114270 is the inky black dial.

I think I would find those cracks distracting.

Juclaq · 22 August 2018, 09:16 AM

The spider web dials are unique. Kind of hard to say i like them, but I can say I dont hate them.

I am emailing with Jacek now. Stay tuned.

Kowlick · 22 August 2018, 10:48 AM

I got mine from HQ Milton several months ago. Jacek is really great to deal with and they get good examples of 114270s all the time.

Beautiful! What year?

Kowlick · 22 August 2018, 11:19 AM

Thanks! It’s a 2002. Looks like there’s another 2002 posted on the site right now that looks like a nice example.

For my money I see a well worn case, cracked dial, & a missing bracelet. Surely there are better examples for not much more. Explorer can be worn on strap but looks better on bracelet. Good luck.
