Good day members
I've been offered this locally and paying it consideration.
Would appreciate any feedback- all criticism welcomed.

From what little I have been able to read about this reference, it should have a DON bezel, I've been offered with this current decimetre bezel (possibly a service bezel)?
This to me brings the question of originality of the others parts of the watch...Dial, hand set, pushers.
All looks very fresh to me for a 50 year old watch.

Would the experts kindly comment as what is important to me is a true and period correct watch.
A 1171 bracelet is to be included but not pictured.
Do I pass without the presence of a DON ?

321 movement 8 digit- 25 m serial.

Thanks

How much is the asking price?

The caseback engraving is essentially gone.
It doesnt look like the crown and pushers are correct for this watch.
The DON alone will cost you 2-3k to replace.

This model has 23m-26m movement serials but, without knowing what the engraving is on the inside of the caseback I cannot tell you if 25m is correct for this model year.
