The good news is, the bracelet just fits. That being said, I will be thrilled beyond belief if I am able to locate an extra link somewhere. Attachments:

The bad news is, the pushers stick in...but that shouldn't be a big issue. The color in the pic I posted of off, the sweep hand is actually orange. And here's the answer to the case back question.....

Sticking pushers are a five-minute fix, easy. Nice on the caseback. The sweep looks (and looked) original to me from the pics so the short hands were an interesting thing. What's your overall impression?

What's your overall impression? I am super pleased, for the price I paid. The seller wasn't exactly honest, but I'll deal with him. I specifically asked if the chrono functions were working properly, and he said yes. The crystal appears to be a little cloudy, but I'm not sure it warrants replacement. The bracelet is in fantastic shape, nothing more than light scratches. The case appears to have the factory brushing, not polished at all. All in all, I think it was a good buy.

Hell yes. If the hands are all original & the watch original? You bet, it was a serious bargain.

Well, it is running very nicely, but will require a bit of attention. Both pushers are slightly bent, one worse than the other, and one is missing it's spring.

Just trim it down and it works great. As for the need for an extra link , take a better pic of the band and I'll check my stash to see if i have a matching one. I can't promise I do , but it's worth a shot.

Congrats Tim . . . looks quite nice and based on your comment about the price, the minor issues seem worth a fix. I'm sure that some quality time with Spencer will have that running like a top.
Congrats and wear it in good health!
P.S. I'm jealous as hell!

I set it to the second last night, and left it crown down on my desk. As of this morning, it is still nuts on! Looks like all it's going to need, is a little pusher tlc.

Regardless of hands, I really think you got yourself a really nice catch there thunbsup.gif I for one don't mind if I get the short or long hands... I want a Yachtsman!
