    Hi all,

    I came across Eberhard as a watch brand that seems to put out some great options and I'm looking to choose between a few options linked below. Appreciate that it's brand that's not come across as much but any information would be greatly appreciated.

    I like the first one, but the discolouration on the back has me slightly worried. Is that an issue or simply part of it being an older watch? The way the second watch dial is set out is great as well as the overall size of the watch being slightly smaller, but I would prefer silver vs. the existing gold plating. The third watch is a great size and I prefer the silver, but I'm not sure how I feel about the pushers...

    If anyone has any thoughts/suggestions it would be much appreciated!

    The first one is legit, although probably re-dialed. The others (the chronographs) aren't even worth considering IMO. One is gold-plated and cheap-looking, the other is 32mm (and also cheap-looking). I'm not even sure if the chronographs are legit TBH, but I haven't looked closely, and I'm not going to.

    You will get more responses by posting photos instead of links.

    Yes that first one at 36mm and stainless is very interesting. The others not so much.

    As I'm looking more closely at the first one, I'm wondering if the dial is re-painted, or perhaps embossed? The markers seem to be surrounded by white paint. What do you think? The printing looks good. The hands don't match the dial markers in color.

    Yep I think your suspicions are correct on repainted. I just took a second look and with the magnification I see what you're talking about on the hands. They just don't match the markers.
