Well, this was a post about what I thought was a later serial, but it is indeed earlier than expected! I guess we can just turn it into a general critique.

 

Fwiw, mwo ends at 25,448,xxx. That is a ways out there.

 

They just added some zoomed in pictures, turns out the 26 is really 25 and I'm at least partially blind :/

 

Like this?

 

Man these numbers are hard to make out sometimes. Looks like 26, but up close it certainly appears to be 25.

Can't see much in the way of CB facets but it does appear to be a CB midcase. I'm inclined to think it's correct. The bezel and case look to have seen some wear but the dial is quite nice.

 

I like the dial, but the lack of CB facets makes this a pass for me personally.

 

Is that water damage on the movement? It looks moldy in there. I would think that would be cause for concern, but I'm no expert. Maybe it would clean up ok.
