Very nice, known as the Buckley dial in reference to the Rolex expert who favours them. A nice classic size but the bracelet could be very badly stretched at that age and 3k is silly toppy unless it's perfect with box and papers.

2k is the target I'd say, there was one on tz-uk 2 weeks ago for 1675!!

Yes Lewis ,I agree with all your comments,having done a bit more research.
Going to have a look at that Cartier de Calibre tomorrow.

Agree with Yeti 3k is overpriced ........personally don't like the face

A vhat with V12woollie and I on Tuesday will set you on the right path Steven

I'll be popping into watchfinder to get my new 16618 Submariner beforehand, so will be full of the joys of watches

I have a similar watch myself (20-odd years newer with a sapphire crystal) so I have to say that it is very nice.

Yours has a nicer dial than mine, though. Is it an original dial or has it been replaced at some point, or even refinished?

Apologies for not making it clear that it is a watch I was interested in buying,not one I own.
