FS: Hamilton 600 Super Compressor Aqua Date "Cape Horn" Diver

Hi all,
I think I'm ready to sell my Hamilton Super Compressor Ref. 64040-3

The Good:
Very rare caseback is stamped Hamilton inside and displaying the correct reference number 64040-3 but lacks the usually seen large embossed "H 600" in the middle.
Automatic movement (Hamilton 694a) was completely overhauled and serviced earlier this year and keeps great time.
Dial and hands have C1 Lume and glow amazingly bright!
Watch has been positive pressure tested to at least 6ATM (60 meters) and is waterproof!
Bracelet is a vintage style similar to the original and will fit probably over a 7 -1/2 inch wrist (don't remember exactly). If you ask I can measure for you.

The Bad:
Dial has been re-finished—pretty nicely done, though.
Lower crown has been replaced with aftermarket cross-hatched crown.
Crystal is a little bit cloudy in certain conditions/viewing angles—not bad at all, and not noticeable at most times, just worth mentioning.
The bottom left lug is slightly bent.

The Ugly:
This watch is built from parts (Case, dial, movement).
Hands are not correct.

You most often see these listed in the $1500-2200 range, but taking all this into account I am asking 750USD or best reasonable offer. I would also entertain trades or partial trades (especially for vintage Heuer) if your interested. Let me know what you have.

I have sold here and there on CT for several years, also on Chrono24, and lots on the Bay with about 2200 feedback.
I accept PayPal, bitcoin, or bank wire and will add 3% for PP fees but will ship to the United States at my expense. Contact me for international rates (usually about $40 depending on country).

Thanks to Jeff and CT for the space!
Saifiel
