Looks like they had some trouble getting that 7 o'clock marker aligned.

I would say look through the private sales of this group. There are a lot of beautiful vintage pieces from trustworthy sellers.

*Edited to fix typo.

But also to add, there are a lot of fakes, frankens, redials, poor salvages and so on on eBay and elsewhere. There are definitely hidden gems too... but, the private sales board on this forum have a lot of beautiful vintage pieces and are from trustworthy sellers.

I am suggesting the most recent poster check out the private sales group on this forum. There are a lot of beautiful vintage pieces in there.

You had a typo and said “f this group”, I think that’s what @cicindela was reacting to.

Slips happen. It’s like when I meant to say to my ex-wife “can you please pass the salt”, but I accidentally said “ you horrible shrew, you ruined my life”.
