Great looking watch, I had my eye on one for a while on ebay. Any chance that is where you got it? Did the auction pix have green grass like stuff in background? At any rate congrats and enjoy.

Yeah this was the one! I had the case refinished after I got it and tossed a nice strap on it.

Nice to see it went to somebody here. So hard to imagine what these vintage pieces will look like on yourself when considering them. This one looks great on your wrist. I really like that sort of 70s vibe.

Nice one. Often they get polished which ruins the look. You can see on my 1451 how the top of the case has a nice brushed finish originally.

Looks like 1975 year of manufacture.

It appears the lume is partially missing from the minutes hand.

Who did the case refinish?

Hi,

Can you help me choose which one of these 1450s for sale that has the most untouched
case, dial & hands. Prices seem to range between $1400 - 1900. TIA.

all look good, but the first seems best; no idea if it's still available, of course; would not pay above $/€ 1.5k max.

I agree with Fred. The first looks best!

Hello. I'd concur. All have possibilities, but the first is probably the best of the bunch. I own 6 1450's; all restored. My last 2 were around $1,200, each, before anything was done with them. The one priced at $2,300 is not worth it, IMO. Good luck!
