Appreciate ur kind explanation to a goo du like me. :)
I will go take a look then. Thanks!!!!
apa goo du?? :D u r SCS mickey mouse ley...
ok few things u must check for a 6159-7010 tuna to determine true 'worth'...
-dial condition (patina on lume indices/dots,any dial peeling,water spots,signs of moisture)
-hands set condition (patina/wabi)
-shroud condition(original ceramic coating finishing/refinish ....scratches or marks)
-shroud screws(see if they are all present and all 4 of them are titanium screws...not stainless steel generic screws)
-case condition (unpolished orany condition)
-serial number( earliest production from 1975 . 600 with 'm' is made from 75-76 only whereas from 76 onwards all will be marked '600m')
so they should tally up.
-running condition (as per how u check a normal watch with handwind feature)
-crown locking(screw down crown well,minimal or no crossed threads)
thats all i can think of now..
hope it helps
