·Thank you Gatorcpa! I looked at the link again from Desmond’s blog and it appears that I have exactly the case and movement numbers as him...what a coincidence...

As far as I know, yours is the only Hermès signed Centenary in existence.

·Interesting thread. What is the logic or system btw. the case and movement numbers, or put differently, how can you tell whether the case back is the correct one given the movement number?
More concretely, I'm currently seeing one in the market with movement number 10759363 and case number 10725655.

·Hey guys, I just bought a Centenary at a auction here in Stockholm, but im abit confused and wanted to check with you experts if its a real thing. My watch has the English ChronometER and not ChronometRE and I have only seen with the French Chronometre when im image googling the watch. Do anyone know why its meter instead of metre?
I have attached some picture so you can see for your selfs what I mean.
Serial numbers:
Case: 10785013
Movement: 10760633

·The dial has been refinished. The Swiss Made is located at the wrong place.

·Yes it’s a redial, however the overall condition is great. Nice case and thick lugs. The redial isn’t terrible. Attractive watch, so don’t be too down about the redial; wear it and enjoy it and use this as a learning experience.

·I bought it for 1800 euros, is it what its worth or what value do you guys think?

·Hard for me to put a value on a redial tbh. However your watch, in that case condition, with an untouched dial would be materially more than the 1800 Eur you paid I’m sure.
Hard to get a bargain these day..

·I sold a very good Centenary about two years ago on an eBay auction for £2,800 GBP to a British buyer. But a redial is difficult. If what you really wanted was a nice, genuine, original Centenary then you have a problem because you have a watch which is not what you thought it was. And you will find it difficult to sell again to recover your investment if you are honest in your description. With rare items like this 2500, originality is everything, and it would probably be worth more with its original degraded and patinated dial. Caveat emptor, yet again, and do your research very thoroughly before shelling out big money. Harsh words, but true.

·Right-ho, here is the updated table as of 0.900 GMT this morning. I have added a column for case material, but it is only populated for rose gold, otherwise YG is assumed.
I would be interested in any comments from you all, of course. We now have a sample of 27, which is still tiny but allows us to speculate. It does indeed begin to look as if there was a late batch of RG examples, which do group more or less together so far. Does anyone know if the Doug Gravina example (10785584) is RG? I can't really be sure from the photos. The very few Certificate numbers we have so far seem to have no sequence at all 😕 Perhaps the certificates were sent to the testing labs en-masse, and the lab just pulled them out at random to fill in for the movement they had on the bench at the time.

·For your interest. Numbers 1068041 case 10723981 I have had this one for 30y. Very thin watch with clip on back which is not very secure. Dangerous to wear. Lost it once at a party. Someone found it but thought it was a milk bottle top and put it in dustbin. Lucky they remembered when I asked.
!
A skillful goldsmith/jeweller will be able to adjust the caseback to make it fit securely - not a big deal

·Worth $5k+ in my book, at least we are spared the pain of this being a 10 quid ($13.33 US) car boot deal!
Epic purchase bigsom, an anchor piece for a world-class collection!
(valuation guess thrown out there hoping you will give us an idea as to what you paid for it!)
