This is for sale (not by me and no vested interest)
Why do you think?

It's a franken, unfortunately. 🙁 Some of the original parts are here:

I read the threads and still not sure. Is it an incorrect dial for the movement number and/or case number? Or something else?

If you look carefully at the movement pictures of the black chronograph, you'll notice the movement number is 21114. Then look at the movement in this watch and you'll notice it is the same movement (the caseback is also the same). In the time between when this thread was posted in 2016 (and sold on eBay in Sept. 2017) someone took apart the chronograph and used the dial as described in this thread, and the movement and caseback ended up in the black gilt chronograph.

good detective work @Vitezi - that google drive database is priceless

I picked up this Seastar seven the other week. Needs a service and some love but I like it.

The "leaf" style, often blued, (left) and "lumed baton" style (right) were most common, as seen here:

Thank you for sharing it..

I’ve been trying to find more details about the leaf hands. Size of the hands, size of the ring, width.. that will help me to buy the right one.

I noticed that there is 2 types of leaf hands used on these vintage watches. The one that you showed (shorter leaf hand) and the ones on the first picture (longer and thinner leaf).

I found a seller, selling these 2 leaf hands the, 2) and 3) picture.. the 2) pic seems the right one, but without sizes information, it very difficult to be sure.

Any change to get that information? Really detailed about the used hands on 40’s models.

Many thanks

Your watchmaker will help you with this. The size of the ring (hole) depends upon the diameter of the hour or minute hand shaft. The length of the hands depends upon the location of the hour numerals and minute track on your specific dial. Notice how the tip of the hands just about reaches the numerals (or minute markers) on the examples above. Your watchmaker can accurately measure these parameters.

Then your watchmaker can select one new hand (or both hands, if you would like both replaced) from a watch parts distributor like this one:

I just got this little Tissot womens watch for the Miss.
Did I read the tables correctly that it's probably from 1937-1939? What Calibre is it, can't find much?
Thank you very much, this one is so hard to photograph and the black dial reflects the light a lot.🤦

It's a caliber 21.7, used in 30mm men's watches of the day. The movement does not seem to sit in its case very well; I suspect it might have been re-cased? Movement is indeed from 1937-39, but I like to see the movement serial and caseback serial numbers a little closer together numerically.

Thank you very much. Actually it's my pictures and incompetence, the movement was laying very tight in the caseback when I opened the case. To take a picture of the movement I took it out of the caseback/holder and put in the frontcase. Good to know thanks for chiming in.👍
