"What Has Been Seen Cannot Be Unseen" . . . so I really wish that I had never seen this one.
Wow!!
Different people have different tastes, but there must be a reason that we have only seen one of these over the past couple of decades.

: That bezel...oh the horrors. Ugh. Maybe if you remove all the
: diamonds it's worth something though.
: The bezel aside, chrono hand is incorrect (appears to extend too
: far over the outer track) and even if I've somehow misidentified
: it, will need to be re-painted. Case looks decent, but the
: patina doesn't appear to be yellow-ish...more of a washed
: out/white color to it. I suppose if it matches, that's fine. Not
: exactly my cup of tea.
: All in, this is a project watch in a few senses but could turn out
: to be an average example when corrected. A ghost bezel would fit
: this example nicely if it could somehow be sourced. For a tad
: under $6,500 US, could end up being a decent purchase in a few
: years. Or you could just auction it at Auctionata ;)
