absolutely right, Roff. google is a b*tch, people might actually see this thread,
so now we will have to say that it is not only priced WAY above fair market, but:
dial refinished w/ incorrect logo for period
balance bridge incorrectly (very!) marked
correctors for date/month are very strange, to put it mildly
quite a poor specimen, like almost all this seller's watches,
probably much more wrong, but enough time spent already.

edited as a disclaimer; as Roff said, I was too kind, probably much more wrong with it,
but just not worth the effort; even if it sells it will be shill bidding and it will reappear soon;
no sane person will buy his stuff.
