I would like to get yalls opinion on this watch. i sort of think the crown and the dials are not original, but i am not trained enough to spot other things, could I trouble yall for your opinion on this watch. Thank you!

 

grr i mean to say the crown and the hands dont seem to be original. sorry :/

 

I agree that the hands and crown are not original.

 

Agree. The hands and crown are not original. Case is pretty beaten up too.

 

If we are commenting on condition, the dial is also poor, since someone has completely removed the minute track between 4 and 6 o'clock.

 

i noticed that too, well it is kind of hard to miss, out of curiosity what would cause that problem? was it the minute hand dragging there or maybe some other reason that is a more serious problem?

 

Very rough condition, it's not something I would want to strap on. There are far better examples out there.

 

Exactly. For parts, maybe...

 

It looks like someone made a botched attempt at patching up a part of the dial with paint.

 

are you referring to that same area at 5 oclock or do you see something else? i thought the 5 oclock problem would be from a dragging hand, but again i am not super confident in my analysis. thank you!

 

Most likely an attempt at cleaning IMO. That does not look like hand-drag to me.

 

i am curious how you know this? what leads you to believe it was an older redial? I ask because I would like to learn these things.

 

Thank you for explaining, I see exactly what you are talking about. Also I hate to be a bother, I am just learning and dont want to make a costly mistake, but would you mind giving me your opinion of the JLC in the photo attached here.

 

Thank you for your advice and taking the time to explain it to me.

 

It's a mess. I would pass.
