Great resource for modders.

Made me glad I joined the TTK MBW group buy.

I'd figure that 90% of the value of that watch is in the original dial- absolutely beautiful. Other interesting details are the folded link bracelet and the old style crown and case tube (24-7020) where the case tube doesn't have the outside gasket like on the later (and still current) case tube (24-7030) does.. finding an acrylic pearl to install in the old bezel insert would certainly be a great find.

Thanks for posting, BWL.

I'd figure the dial is only that valuable when it's got a case and movement with the right serials to be legit.

Yes, I like it, and I too would have fitted an insert and crystal.
