Being serious though (and I could be wrong) but I believe there is a beautiful dial hidden under that shot crystal. Given a spruce up that piece could be quite the bobby dazzler......

Mystery Shopper 5,887 Posted July 17, 2020 Noting wrong with a little patina. This was one of my Grandpa's watches bought in 1973. I don't notice the wear, except when I try to get a decent shot for the wristcheck thread. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

rusky27 1,847 Posted July 17, 2020 A bit chibbed that, but wait to you see what he does with it - he's tastefully restored a few of my mates 5513s and a pre explorer not to mention my speedy. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

rusky27 1,847 Posted July 17, 2020 He was telling my mate about an inspection he done of an M. N. Snowflake for an insurance valuation and the guy ignored advice and sent it to rolex service center who stripped it of any value/provinance after there "replace and renew" policy. A proper military watch fan. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Much the same, usually looks pretty presentable. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jhdscript 41 Posted July 17, 2020 Very beautiful patina and scratches. I like watches with previous life. Gorgeous timepiece Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
