    Hi there,

    just a quick one here ... I was offered this beauty ...

    [​IMG]

    It is obv. that it had a meh-redial and the crown is not original ...

    It seems the movement is of the 449/469/479 family ... (from the ranff archives)

    [​IMG]

    any thoughts on it - how does the movement look to you guys? ... worth sinking money in it?

    all the best
    Al

    Movement looks well worn, but OK. The case and dial are awful.

    I wouldn't put too much into this piece.

    I wouldn't put any money into this piece. "Meh" doesn't do that redial justice, it is hideous.
