Manuel,

Thanks. The watch in question has been buffed and the dial and hands are faded. The bezel is OK but scratched and worn a bit. The Cal 12 is beautiful and has just been overhauled. I just don't know if I can get my mind bent around paying the guy's asking price for a buffed, faded example. The guy is a local gold buyer who is smart enough to have looked at eBay and found out that the orange version is worth more than the red one. Damn the internet!
