    Lovely watch, this one deserves a double post in the "look at those LUGs" thread!
    And the strap looks like a beautiful ostrich leg skin too...

    I wanted to say I bought this, but deal is not finished yet.
    I was approached by a friend who asked if I was interested... I said I wanted to have a look and think about it.
    I think it is real stunner, but not entirely sure it is 100% accurate - dial looks just too good.. (I have this mantra; if it sounds too good, it probably is.. not sure I can apply that here)...
    What does the expertise thinks?

    Hej Jesper.

    You should probably have posted it somewhere else... This is for showing off your newest indulgence, not for vetting potential purchases. I'd say that you're holding a redialed watch, though it has been done well. The "Automatic" script and the "SWISS MADE" looks off and the lume is clearly redone. I could be wrong, but that's my take.

    Thanks for that. I so wanted it to be my newest indulgence, but I was (rightly) unsure.
    Still new here, so learning my way around this forum.

    This arrived Monday, sort of. The watch arrived Monday with this dial, a refinish. Neatly done, but very incorrect. The watch itself was in excellent condition. Nice 2364 30T2RG

    I had this dial from a last year purchase.
    A quick dial swap and now the watch has an original dial.

    Loaded is bad enough, but when it is an auto Visa with a 16 watch magazine :cautious:

    Excuses, I doubt 'it didn't cost much' is going to help with her ladyship :)

    And an Apple Watch band for the gf for v-day. I'm very IMG_0789.JPG surprised at the quality of this leather and buckle from Nomad. It feels phenomenal. IMG_0783.JPG

    Looks like it. Not a lot of description from the seller and pictures were blurry. It looks legit to me and it wasn't very expensive so I decide to test it out. I don't know how much it will cost to get it into Canada so that was another test. Coming in from Serbia.
