Condition check 6263

[rmlovett1]

Hi. Seeking some eyes on this 6263...thanks for any help & opinions.
I know there are reflections on the crystal and dust… But I am assured it's just that. My concern is the hands/dial/case. Anybody see anything that would turn them away or red flags?

What’s the beginning of the serial number? Do you have photos of the engraving and movement?

The dial is a bit of a wreck, especially the sub-dials, but the case is suspiciously pristine and super fat. That’s a red flag right there. Doesn’t mean it’s not all legit. It just means that it’s odd and would require further scrutiny.

Personally, I wouldn’t pursue it based on the dial condition alone. The white sub-dials often take on some patina, but in that example they just look very dirty. You’re also missing some tritium on a couple of the dots and the hand lume ain’t great. And more minor, that’s a service crystal.

Here’s my (former) black 6263. This is what you should look for in sub-dials.

Those sub-dials would give me no joy in owning this watch.

Appreciate it gentleman. I told the seller the same thing about the sub-dials…very dirty/too much patina, whatever you’d want to call it.

Like the guys said, the dial & hand surfaces are so scratched and tarnished in the pics they make you wonder what gives.
Even some of the text fonts look sloppy to me when zoomed.

I would pass on that one Richard.
