·Hi everyone,
I have come across this watch, and sort of fell in love with the case, which looks in pristine condition and super sharp.
I understand that this is generally not the best idea to buy « cheap » watches as the relative cost of a service makes it a money hole pretty quickly, but I would like a daily wearer which I can enjoy without being completely obsessed about scratching it. I don’t necessarily plan on servicing this watch, according to the seller, the movement (Landeron 48) runs great and all the functions work properly. Is this a reliable movement? How does it look to your eye? It looks clean to me.
The dial looks in good condition too. A bit of wear overall, some of the lume dots are slightly gone, but it does look attractive IMO. Would this be a gilt dial? Or printed?
There is not much info on this brand, which disappeared in the late 1970s. I will try to find more info and paste below.
The seller is asking for 300€.
I like to have a second opinion as I am new to the world of watches, so if you have some thoughts, please share!
I thank you in advance.
