Anything Can be done at a cost by a good watchmaker

Yep, the rehaut grime can be rubbed off… so to speak.
Looks like too much of the case has been rubbed off anyway. I'd pass based on that. |

The corrosion is not an issue.
I would not call it a full set, nor would I purchase it at a full set price, just because it has a blank guarantee booklet.. |

Crown guards are very unevenly polished. It also has the wrong bezel insert - intended for a sapphire model. I would pass.

I see what you mean with the crown guards. I didn't notice that! Even more reason to stay away... ![]()

The second hash is not a deal breaker. It can easily be fixed. I remember John posting his red and he had multiple hash lines repaired and u can't even tell the difference. The case is in poor condition though as stated above.
