Hi All, I've been hunting a ck2913 for awhile now and I think I've found a decent one. Wanted to check with the experts here in case I missed something. Seller claims insert is original and it looks good to me, but I've been fooled before. Also, it's a 2913-2. Should this have a countdown insert? Thanks for your input!
+1. Redone. And yes, would like to see a countdown bezel on a -2, but depends. Do you have serial and is it a cal 500 or 501? Looks pretty descent otherwise. And the -2 subreference is very rare BTW. Spotted fewer than the -1.
Thanks guys, I thought the insert looked good with it appearing concave and not filling the whole bezel but that's why I ask the experts here. Waiting on movement shots and serial number, but disapointing it's not an original bezel.
Bezel probably not original as others have pointed out, but other than that and the later crown it looks pretty good overall. I'm also wondering if the lume on the minute hand has been touched up...I'd ask the seller for UV light shots of the hands and dial if possible just to ensure that the glow is consistent..
Agree the bezel is a redo. In addition, dial has "Swiss" engraved at 6 o'clock. I believe most 2913s have "Swiss Made". Perhaps others can comment on these 2 different types of dials. Are they both considered original ?
