Nice.

Dial looks like it's in great condition - case needs a polish, but could be a lot worse off. Difficult to tell from the photos if the crystla can be salvaged with a polish or whether the scratches are too deep.

Give it plenty of wrist time when you get it to make sure that it regulates and get it serviced if it's gaining / losing a lot.

Do you know what year it's from?

Good question, could be on the inside or outside of the caseback. You are looking for a 7 digit number starting with 1.

That's a different number.

11525/67 is the 1967 patent number for the chronomatic bezel mechanism. All that tells us is that this is a post 1967 watch - which we knew anyway - it can't possibly be earlier than 1969.

I suspect that the serial number may be lost - it was likely engraved beneath the model number (1806), and often it rubs off over the years. Given the condition ofthe rest of the caseback I'm guessing that it won't be legible.

Use a good magnifying glass to look for the serial number on the back. It's usually there but they're light to start with on this model.
