    Hi guys, what are your thoughts on the following watch? Movement and case numbers date it to around the early 50s, but I'm not come across such a combination of dial and hands. Could it be a franken?

    Case and movement look OK. It's the caliber 89, one of the best manual wind movements of the era.

    However, that's a horrible looking redial. Logo isn't even close.

    That's what this dial should look like. Also, I'm pretty sure the hands aren't right either.

    I'd say that it's time to move on...nothing to see here.
