Indeed!! I'm trying to put on my calm face. :shock:

May be getting a phone call today or tomorrow about another chance at a dial. No slide rule ring, but it's a big step forward. Fingers crossed!

Looks almost too clean. Can't see any major issues, but I need experts here, not just me guessing at it.

Thanks!

btw,
the seller initially had a bezel in the auction he claimed was from a 806
I contacted the seller and offered to buy the bezel straight from him and received the bezel today
to my disappointment it was a 36mm bezel, not a 41mm 806 bezel
I contacted the seller about this , he apologized for his mistake and immediately refunded me !

thank you Mr Eduardo Pinto from Portugal :D

Rene, that's a shame it wasn't the proper bezel. At least he took care of you.

I wish he would come down on a price for the dial and outer ring. Would be nice to have one to send off to International for a correct refinish, or at least to have a spare. And the outer number ring is still proving elusive for now.
