Agreed. Another one: https://mb.nawcc.org/threads/1940s-cartier-chronograph-w-lecoultre-movement.77643/ Don't have a login for NAWCC so can't download higher res images

750.334: https://catalog.antiquorum.swiss/en/lots/97361 . Remark in the description: lug signed Cartier numbers. Tanknumber now at 97
Based on a.o. this article I think Cartier will have been written in straight writing in 1940: https://cnaluxury.channelnewsasia.c...hes-in-singapore-dover-street-market-11531312 This writing is also seen in the photoshop from the ebay one. I think the Sotheby's one without known serial has an original dial or at least one which looks close to what it should have looked.
So far of 4 of them the Cartier inventory numbers are known: 750.269 5362 750.295 5297 750.313 5250 750.315 5999 Looking for more comps on this I found this one: https://www.matthewbaininc.com/watch-details/1876 with Cartier number 6092
Found another Cartier. Unrelated to the others in this thread - because Universal Geneve reference 22223 - but still interesting. Serial seems to be 87x.xxx. Very special caseback. Cartier number in the lug, which seems to be '?777' https://watchcenter.ch/index.php/watches/chronograph-uni-compax-for-cartier-from-50s.html
Another - maybe UG - Cartier. Unfortunately the seller (Heirloom) does not show any pics of the caseback
Almost certainly a Movado. https://www.ebay.fr/itm/25424661269...-53476-19255-0&campid=5338722076&toolid=10001Purchases made through these links may earn this site a commission from the eBay Partner Network
