is all about the ornate lugs. \u00a0There is some Speidel scarring on the inside of the lugs, but otherwise, the gold plating is in great shape. \u00a0The dial, in person, is much whiter than the photos show. \u00a0I put it on a shark skin strap, which, once again in person, is a muddy brown, rather than the red seen in my photos.<\/p>\n\n\t\t<style type=\"text\/css\">\n\t\t\t#gallery-1
