1960s Sub Ruined?

[pierson]

So I have the opportunity to acquire a 1960s Sub from the first and only owners family. The only issue, is that they don't know whats been done to it. Can anyone shed some light? It looks like the dial has been replaced? the bracelet as well? Assume that makes a huge change in the value. thanks!!

forgot to include the photo

Dial, hands, bezel insert, bracelet all replaced if its a 60's watch. those are expensive parts to replace if you can even find them. What's the serial number?

I would be very surprised if it is that old.

And bracelet too.....not much left there...

So much has been replaced that without revealing to us the serial number and inner caseback engravings, it's virtually impossible to conclude anything.

The serial number will at least tell you when the case was made

Ha! To the left is a Deepsea Sea dweller :)

Yes, it's a late 1960s sub 67/68, but it appears that everything has been replaced

Pretty sure it's 179, but need to confirm

Settle for the SeaDweller, It's a sacrifice but someone has to do it.
