Should I go for it?

Aug 14, 2018,10:38 AM

Greetings to dear members of this forum! How do y'all do?

It's been awhile since I have been online in this site as I was overwhelmed with the amount of work that I had recently...
As things started to cooling down, I look at sales and things alike and I found this...

I love everything, while the crown is a bit smallish as it seems to be replaced and the caseback was brushed. I can polish the caseback up, but I wonder if I should keep going as I'm not sure I could find the original crown as the case number is not listed in the ofrei.
Idk as I'm a newbie, but my instinct tells me that this one is a one hell of a beast... But I'm still not sure how far could I go with this (as probably I went too far with the black dialed seamaster 351 before).

(Non chronomètre or gold case but won at 1.9k US$)

(No regrets so far! 😄)

So...

Any more information for this piece? Perhaps if it's possible with the crown ref that I have to purchase together with this watch, hehe.

Thanks guys!

Best

Wish me luck 🤞, Art, as this one is probably another cruel bidding.... By the way, how to know if I were going to reach 1k post? 😂 Best Jev
