Yours would seem to be all orignal apart from
I cannot see the caseback - so cannot comment on it. I hope it is as I describe above.
The hands have been re-lumed. This is not really an issue, as it seems to have been sensibly done.
The lugs have been drilled to convert it to springbars, removing the original fixed bars.
So, barring the caseback, it all looks good, I even like the spotty dial.
£2.5k (what the owner, of the one on SC was asking, err, or his son?) is about right for this, I reckon. It is not perfect, but quite close to it. this will drop if the caseback is not in orignal state.
Hope this helps
