Beachcomber Posted October 10, 2015 Report Posted October 10, 2015 Is this a mk3? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
Beachcomber Posted October 10, 2015 Author Report Posted October 10, 2015 Think it's worth 375?Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
Champagnesky Posted October 10, 2015 Report Posted October 10, 2015 From what ive seen, they sell for 500 dollars and higher depending on the condition. Did u find it on vrf?
droptopman Posted October 10, 2015 Report Posted October 10, 2015 Decent price for the condition. Mint condition are going $800 and up.
Beachcomber Posted October 10, 2015 Author Report Posted October 10, 2015 Got it from VRM 375 to my door. Thanks guys, think I got a good deal. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 1
Nanuq Posted October 11, 2015 Report Posted October 11, 2015 It's all about the tiny serifs. Look at the 3, 4 and 5
whoopy12 Posted October 11, 2015 Report Posted October 11, 2015 It's definitely gen. There were 2 distinguishable MK3 'variants'. One looks a hair thicker (Nanuq's) and the other is a tiny bit thinner. On the thinner one's I've noticed that the printing is often not centered as nicely which explains why the '20' and '30' go off the inner bezel insert's edge.
508-Fanatic Posted October 11, 2015 Report Posted October 11, 2015 It's missing that little dot thing in the triangle so it's worthless.
Nanuq Posted October 11, 2015 Report Posted October 11, 2015 There are actually at least 3 Mark III variants, this is a rare "hook five" style:
Beachcomber Posted October 11, 2015 Author Report Posted October 11, 2015 Thanks a lot for that guys, I thought I had this insert don't thing down pat but I've been proven wrong again. So much information. This insert is going to go on my new caseless 5513. thanks again guys.Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 1
Champagnesky Posted October 11, 2015 Report Posted October 11, 2015 You should put it in salt water somewhere in the sun for a couple of months. A bleached look would even out all the bumps and scratches on the paint.
Beachcomber Posted October 11, 2015 Author Report Posted October 11, 2015 Here's the insert from my 1680, all original from the original owner, insert appears to be the same one as I just bought. as for salt water and sun, I'mAll for aging but for Gen pieces I'd prefer to keep them as original as possible.
