: steel strap as used on autavias and carreras
: up to 1970.
: Move looks original and case heavy polished to
: me.
: Best AMH

This one looks like being a good donor for one of the many nos cases that seem to come up on ebay (you know the ones being sold with the modern remanufactured dials)

the polishing of the case makes this watch rather nasty, AMH is spot on (as ever) with the list of things right and wrong. it should look like the one on "on the dash" so the second hand should also be painted red too.
