Runs good think it could use a cleaner dial.

Yes Paul, the dial has started to crack up the way melamine dials often do. The case has seen better days too, that's an incorrect replacement bow on it.


Best Regards,

Thanks I am here for the long hall. I didn't notice the bow until Ed said something I am gonna use as a carry watch. Was thinking about pick up one a fake metal dial to say what's left of the one that's on here.

I'd highly suggest you consider getting it serviced before carrying, though.

The regulator is pushed all the way over to the fast side of the scale, telling us it must have been losing time and the last owner kept pushing the regulator needle over to regain the time lost, suggesting a dirty, sluggish movement.

Time for a COA (clean-oil-adjustment)! Smile
