    Hi everyone

    I noticed theres been a lot of posts lately about redials and replacement watch parts etc which got me thinking (worried about one I was thinking of buying). I'm definitely not experienced enough to be able to tell if it's genine or not and was hoping someone could help?

    I can see the movement dates it to 1962, and the inscription on the back is 1965 so can only assume it was manufactured and produced around then. If anyone is able to shed any light, or even a valuation that would be great - I really have no idea what it's worth and don't want to waste money (which I don't have much of)!!

    On a side note it looks like some slight rust has formed at some point on the movement (see picture) - is this of great concern? Is it fixable?

    Thanks very much for your time and hope to hear soon.

    IMO you can find better examples than this..
    It is original but the dial is not nice
    Its in a locally produced English Dennison case which is not as desirable as Swiss made cases.
