Hard to grab that kind of money considering the last one on the bay (I remember seeing anyway) went for like $5000 or possibly lower...Not a great buy for anyone...If the engraving is on the rear lens, you can get that replaced (I think) without having to have a whole new back, but if the metal is done, you would have to machine it off and jack up the case big time.
That watch was overpriced brand new but it is pretty. I just don't know if I'd want to risk a really messed up case & the possibility of having anything from "to my love" to "to Captain Schlongo from your dirty ho" inscribed on the back
Hope I'm not breaking too many rules by posting this, but it needs to be posted. Haven't seen one on the auction block since last fall. Hope someone here gets it
