And again, I agree with JohnN :-)
 
IMO, the 605 models are particularily tricky to find in good condition. First of all, they are relatively rare (or so my caseback data show...), but then, the crisp, geometric case lines of that particular model do deteriorate quite quickly - and are practically impossible to restore (IMO), since polishing of the case inevitably leads to softening of the case lines and blurry surfaces.
 
Best,
Hermann

 This is one of my favorite Bell-matic models.In fact...I just happen to be wearing mine at work today.I was going to wear the "Business Bell" but something made me put on the 6050 instead.My 6050 is in near perfect condition although the case-back on mine was incorrect untill Hermann helprd me out with the correct one.It seems like all the 6050's that I have seen use the same bracelet. The first time I saw a 6050 I knew I had to have one...I love this style. Is that the original box that it came in?Because I would love to find a box like that one for my 6050. Best of luck.

I'm not sure if that's the original box or not as I did not buy the watch new. ???

I still can't get on with it so it's in the sales section.  :( Sorry Bellmatic fans but I prefer divers!  :a102: Swap anybody? ::)
