Swedish 1655 Evaluation

[Jaegodylan]

Hello Folks

My hunt for a 1655 turned up this dude in Sweden.

Seems to be correct MK3 dial and a MKII bezel?

It has been listed a number of times and failed to sell. What are your thoughts?

Fairly worn out and tired with a washed lume look from these rather over exposed photos. Thin right side lugs and a later bracelet.

Serviced in 2016 apparently (not sure where) and some spare parts (plexi, crown and bracelet links)









Thanks for lending your eyes and thoughts to it.

There's a reason it hasn't sold, and you've answered your own question: Worn out, tired, and badly polished. Big pass.

Sounds like me. I agree. Was just looking for any other issues.

I like an honest original scruffer and an albino to boot...BUT, this is now asymmetric (south east lug had 25% removed) the rest are nice/fine btw and the dial hands are a bit dial-rot / mould-ridden, and faded as a result.

Service plexi makes it look worse !

The missing bezel paint I could fix in a jiffy but it's not a an attractive SM'Q to my eyes if I'm brutally frank.
