Rules: Postings must be an ad announcing an intent to sell, buy or trade. Full item description and photo(s) must be posted within the message here, not as links to other websites. Links to online auctions and other sites: Links to online auctions, dealer sites or other listings of items are permitted, but you should be careful to ensure that such listings will comply with our other ChronoTrader Policies. In addition, we request that sellers linking to online auctions or listings offer some benefit or accomodation to ChronoTrader readers (for example, some discount or an undertaking to end an auction early, to keep a watch "in the family"). Photos must be of the actual item for sale in its present condition. No counterfeit or replica products. No post for the same item may be repeated within 7 days, except to lower the asking price. Commercial dealers are limited to three unique posts per day. [More...]
CASE: The 36mm steel case is in very good condition. It’s clearly never been polished, and the lugs retain their sharp facets. Original cross-hatched crown, and the caseback’s worn but clear enough to still show all etching, including the serial number. The crystal has some strange damage on its inside near 9 o’clock; that’s the only cosmetic issue I can see with the case. The bezel currently doesn’t rotate because the lower crown is stuck; it’s clearly just filthy, and should be fine once cleaned up.
DIAL+HANDS: Excellent and original. The lume on the hands is very slightly lighter than the lume on the dial, but they glow and fade identically (they last maybe 10 seconds after being charged by a UV light). All original and untouched and in very good shape.
MVMT: I believe this is an A Schild in here. It’s working, and seems to keep generally okay time, but I’m not monitoring it for accuracy (I keep trying/failing to force myself to enjoy 24 hour dials). Yes, the original hacking mechanism’s there: a tiny wire pops up between the 2 and 4 at the top of the dial and stops the seconds hand. I don't know the service history on this, and as I understand it it's been sitting in its box for several years, so presume this will need care if regular use is planned.
The watch comes with its original box, but no papers or bracelet or anything else.
Price is $2000 net to me. Happy to answer any questions, provide as many references as are requested, and arrange shipping/payment methods with the buyer. Thanks for looking, and to Jeff/CT for the space+community.
