Hi all,

Happy New Year!

I hope everyone is well.

I have loved following the various threads on here over the last few months, trying to learn more. I wonder if I could have some advice please?

My dad is interested in the below watch. It’s listed for 3k. What is the model? Does it all seem legit and original? What are you opinions on the condition? Any particular things you think that are relevant to know as a relatively new enthusiast?! Is it overpriced?

thanks in advance
😀

Attractive 1930s watch. It would not have had any particular model name or reference number in that era. Do you know the size?

Extremely interesting, at first thought we had the 23.7 movement (still do) but really curious as to the measurement of both the case and the movement.
Several dials with these art deco numerals from the late 30's, that "10" numeral is so unique!
$3k is high, but I can't swear the dial isn't original, maybe a smudge at 35 sec., hands may have been replaced but this is so representative of the era and so damn good looking!
I'd spend your money on it.

Nice watch but in my opinion very difficult to "price it" because it's a rare watch but the price many times it's made but the "desire" of the watch for many peoples..and i do not think this is a very wanted model.
