Siffert 141.489 / Mark 5 in Early Case = Problem
In Response To: Re: Siffert 141.489 ()

Here's the link to this watch -- http://www.bonhams.com/auctions/24631/lot/74/

141xxx serial number; 3/69 on the clasp and Cal 11 movement all suggest early model, but the hands are later.

I suspect that this will be a problem, in terms of achieving the premium price expected for an early watch.
