Looks like the real deal to me. Price is a joke but somebody will buy it.

Looks real to me too, and the movement seems to have survived the rough life that the rest has had. Too rich for me in that condition though.

And we're back to that series of debates again of course. I think that all we can do is go by what we see and there's nothing there that looks wrong to me. Interesting to see what Kurt thinks.

Sorry for the delay in responding, but I have been in Cuba for 10 days.

The watch is all correct, and extremely rare, I wouldn't consider pulling the trigger for a second at the price it if the dial had been good, I have asked for a picture of the dial without the crystal on, exciting to see if I get it.
