K killer67I 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.
The "leaf" style, often blued, (left) and "lumed baton" style (right) were most common, as seen here:
I鈥檝e 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.
What Calibre is it, can't find much?
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.
