I picked this one up this week for a spare movement/dial. I hadn't planned on putting it in the DB because it looked pretty rough in the listing. Much to my surprise it cleaned up beautifully, much nicer than the first one I entered. There is little to no wear on the case and the dial is really pretty. I popped a new crystal on it and a NOS band and it is almost like new!
It has a 10K yellow gold filled case dated stamped L0. The movement is date stamped A9. Photographed on a postcard I also picked up recently.
That is a super cool watch. Love the lugs.

Great story and a wonderful surprise. Well bought Kathy.
