Spencer offered me this a couple of weeks ago and although I'd already exceeded my watch budget for several months resistance was futile  she arrived yesterday and I'm really pleased with her, I'd had one on my wish list for a while but all the ones I'd looked at had been over polished or were missing bracelets and had AM parts. My initial thoughts are that I'll have a new crystal installed and refinish the bracelet but not sure if I should have the bezel tarted up a bit, what'dya reckon? Sorry guys pics back now, [ been messing with PB ] I told you I was an idiot      |

Congrats Jim! The watch looks like it has a ton of potential in being an awesome piece. I usually see these models with over brushed surfaces and skewered case lines. Yours appear nice and crisp. Even the factory machining lines are still present on the lug hoods. Amazing pickup my friend  |

Nice find, it should clean up really nice.

If it had stayed here, I was going to source an NOS bezel replacement, pop in a new crystal as well. I don't mind the bracelet condition personally but hey it's not my watch anymore. But a new bezel and crystal would really make that an amazing watch.

I new bezel is absolutely in order. That one's just too rough, really detracts from the overall picture.
Enjoy !

Can't see pics for some reason.
EDIT:
OK . . . . now I can see the pics! Very cool Jimmy!
IMHO, these are very cool and funky looking watches. I never understood why they didn't get much love over at the old place. I think the case design is very interesting.
Congrats on acquiring a real beaut Jimmy! Can't wait to see her all dressed up for the dance!

As Spencer said, I also can recommend a new bezel and crystal.
A beautiful classy piece, and wear it in the best of health . . .
