Definitely more spritely than I am now, but approaching 65 that’s to be expected, watch runs much better than me.😟

Great stuff @flawless especially that second photo

Thanks - bought this in at work earlier today and really wish I'd taken a "before" photo. Disassembled it and re-brushed the case/bracelet, and gave the bezel a light polish (may revisit it). Very tempted to buy it myself, honestly, even though it's a sub-40mm quartz.

You can actually have vintage black dials look like aged silver under the right, harsh summer sun light…

Good, silver shall come to those who search for it
LOL. OK, I'll play. Neo vintage dials can do this too! 😉

This is interesting. The lugs look a bit worn down to me, and the tachymeter track is missing (as declared in the ad), plus it could probably use a service. But otherwise it looks a really nice example. Great dial condition. It is tempting... What do others think?
@abrod520 @SteveP ?

Oooooooof super polished lugs. Yuck. And the chapter ring is missing (not a tachy on the Dato, just minutes / chrono seconds).

The dial's nice and all other parts are present, but the case is absolutely toast. A good candidate for a parts watch.

Shame as the dial is so nice imo. And hands look original too. Chapter ring could potentially be sourced I guess. But yes you're probably right about the lugs, there's not much of the angles left that I love so much about the Carrera case. Probably explains the price.

If only it had the chapter ring, I guess that's why the price is what it is. I could overlook the other negatives, but the missing chapter ring is a deal breaker for me.

Price has just been reduced to £2999 now.
And just received an offer for £2850! The seller obviously wants to shift this one.

Chance your arm with a cheeky bid?
Tempting but I've kind of talked myself out of it due to the case/lugs.
