Just up.
30 years in sock in drawer,, sellers says it works fine
Maybe a one owner special !!
:what
that just MAY BE a diamond in the rough!! after 30 years it runs fine? whew, I hope he does NOT run it too much, as dry as the movement has to be! bracelet looks good, looks like the 1970s style, maybe long enough to be useful. crystal , no problem, at least it is there and not broken or missing. dial/hands look good and dial appears original. bezel, decent but not quite perfect, lucky, no CRACKS I can see ,one small chip on upper edge, typical for these plastic inserts. bang the edge of bezel, chip time!! the bezel material CAN be polished out good with mothers mag wheel polish. if I was looking for one I think I would take a shot at this. :twothumbsup :coolsmiley2
Seems to tick the right boxes. Don't know about these "in the sock drawer" "45 years in a cupboard" "estate" finds - might just be getting old and cynical. Still I'll watch this one and see what happens. I am after a white no date plastic insert so this might be the one but not at any price. :cheap I am.
;D
It looks to me like he dragged that watch around behind his car for a while before he put it in the sock in his dresser drawer. Also, one of the curved end pieces is missing from the bracelet and they are not that easy to replace.
This one needs some serious :helpme from BWG!

good observation, I didn't notice the missing bracelet end cap, not an easy part to find for sure! it is almost over, now at $202. crystal did take a beating, at least an easy fix.
Topped out at Winning bid:US $315.00
Add another couple of hundred for this and that and complete service... a keeper for another 30 years !!
:D
