    Wish the pics were better... shame about the stains on the dial. Is that hour subdial hand different from the others?

    Going to inquire?

    Chrono and subdial hand off. And why is the ref number blurred?

    Hour subdial hand looks wrong to me as well. And the chrono hand center disk looks small.

    And yes, why is the case ref blurred out of they're selling it as a 2998-1?

    Nice looking and all, but there are a few red flags that would need to be sorted out..

    I think just the hour subdial.. Not an expert in these early ones, though the other two subdial hands might be too short... but I'm not sure.

    Blurs caseback ref and movement number.

    Yeah this seller knows what they are doing with a potential huge sale.

    As for the price.... if you have to ask.

    My bet is about 35-40k is what he will say.

    Well, we'd be getting into watchmaker territory and I ain't one. But it looks as though the original spring broke and a substitute was devised.

    This seller always blurs out the ref and case number. He does it on €1000 watches and on €40.000 watches, so that's no problem I think

    Thank you, that is very kind of you, but after other members feedback I am not sure if I want it anymore.
