way too many doubts for me,buy from here.I bet you will be surprised at the price wou could get,and the watch will not have a chipped crystal,or dust or an unknow service history and a fresh case not a repolished one.

Very good points, I have seen a few 177 come up just this evening that I could get for a better price than dealing with these issues...
