Dislike the homemade caseback inscription - and would like to confirm that the correct serial number is on the back (it likely is there but faint)... No WOG inscription on the movement but we've seen several late 60s Box 10s surface so it wouldn't bother me. Case has been polished a little but not too bad. Overall an attractive watch which appears original, except for the crown which has been replaced. A panda crown shouldn't be hard to find, so it shouldn't stop you if you love the watch. Price is not a steal - but not extraordinary either. Make an offer if you love it and see what happens. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

I would also bet that someone on this forum may have a better one for sale at a similar price. Have you tried posting a WTB ad? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |
