Hello TRF!

I was hoping I could get some feedback and insight with this particular specimen I found.
https://asiatimepiece.com/products/r...atch-year-1985
I got some additional photos from the dealer below.
I originally found the listing on eBay so I dont know what to think....

Does this look correct? I dont see many white-dial 16014s so I'm not sure. It doesn't look overly polished either.

Would y'all reckon that its worth the asking price if it doesnt have the jubilee bracelet?

I appreciate any feedback and thoughts!

Lume dot issue at "4" is likely normal deterioration, similar to my year 1987 Date.

Likely lightly polished, not a big deal.

I cannot assist with value -- I just don't know that area.

Not overpolished... but IMHO definitely overpriced for a 16014 head on a strap...

Thanks for the feedback~ I was a wee bit worried about the lume dot missing, but this is good knowledge.

Thank you for the feedback! I was thinking the same thing....I've seen examples with a bracelet for the same price, so its clear that my heart and my head are not aligned...
Any idea what a reasonable price range would be?

Over priced with no band and deterioration on the dial

I agree with others that not having the oyster kinda make that deal expensive ...you should bargain your price. a strap like that is couple of hundreds compare to the oyster which is thousands and you will have a hard time finding a ~1980 bracelet to match.

My impression: meh.

Full retail for head only, no bracelet in a box and papers. No dice
