I did know better..but bid anyway
Bid on 3 pictures only,case front,case back and dial & no description.
- the case showed some wear but liked it.
- realized there was no crown
- did not notice there was no crystal and no bezel
- did notice there were 2 lever cutouts so a recase
- a Waltham dial in pretty good condition but no idea of the movement or if it was working
- but I did like the case
Turns out this will be a bit of a project and that will come in time but i don't think I will bid again on minimal information.

Rick - Our member, Paul Davis can probably help you with the missing crown. The bezel is another matter. Multi-color cases are indeed the possession of but the very few, and they are historical memoirs of a time when superb craftsmanship was the mark of the master of his art. Sadly, I believe that time has gone....

Clark & Samie, thanks for the contacts. I will get to the restoration in the near future and see what else it might need

Regards
