ADVICE on DRSD tropical brown Mk11 dial 1969
I would like your expert opion on this particular DRSD Mk11 tropical brown 1969 model please...
it is currently on e-bay: seller is luxwatches308, based in Spain, it is advertised for £18k with no box or paperwork! all original? no alterations... I have looked through various websites for authentisity!! a lot of information to go through so I thought all your vast knowledge and expert eye to detail could again guide me in the right direction... The only thing I can question is the date 'closed 6 & 9'?? is this correct for a mk11? Thankyou for your time....maybe I can purchase this one? |

That dial is damaged. If it was a mint tropical not damaged by moisture as Jed said with mint case etc.--different story. I wouldn't touch this one though--not a chance.

The dial has gotten wet and touched up to give this effect and preserve it somewhat IMHO.

Dave... if you are looking to spend that much..
This one is cheaper, in better condition and by a trusted reputable dealer. http://www.hqmilton.com/index.php/si..._1665_mark_iv/
