Hi all,
I’m evaluating the purchase of this Nina Rindt, for now I only have these pics.
What do you think?
The two things I don’t like are the unsigned crown, and the possibly missing serial number on the caseback.

Thanks for any input!

Isn’t the serial number showing (faintly) at the bottom of the case back on photo 5? Can you ask the seller if they can send it to you, and why the crown has been replaced? Also can you ask the seller for a movement shot?

Mmm should they tell me something more than their intrinsic detail?

The dial, main hands and sub hands look correct to me as a Mark 2 variant, the serial number will confirm if it is a Mark 2. If you haven't found it yet, the alpha hands web site is a very good resource - link is here:

Im guessing the crown replaced bc its nearly 60 years old
Overall it looks good, lil polished but still attractive.
