Lot Essay
It is not often that a modern Rolex or Tudor watch leaves the factory with a mistake. However, when it does happen, collectors often see an added value rather than a characteristic that takes away from the watch. The present Bucherer Black Bay is highly sought after in its own right, but this example features a dial that carries a mistake in the third line of text below the hands. The word "OFFICIALLY" is missing its second "I."
To the best of our knowledge, this has not been seen on any other Bucherer Black Bay watches presenting a unique chance to acquire a unique watch.

The condition of lots can vary widely and the nature of the lots sold means that they are unlikely to be in a perfect condition. Lots are sold in the condition they are in at the time of sale.
The watch is in excellent condiiton and the case has taken on a strong patina. The case back has some light scratches. The dial and hands are in very good condition and appear to be original. The "I" in "Officially" is not on the dial and appears to have been an error during the priniting of the dial. The buckle has taken on a patina as well. The movement is in working order at the time of cataloging, consistent with the age of the watch. The movement has not been tested for accuracy. A service is recommended given the age of the watch.
