I just looked at the watch on Chrono24 again. It’s a Dennison case ‘Solid’ 9K Gold.

Thank you all. I asked for the original photo’s. The info you all are providing is great but honestly still makes me doubt. A gold bumper with separate seconds is on my wish list a few months already and the FOMO feeling is popping up... 😀

Below the enlarged inside. Will come back if I have better quality picks.

@VetPsychWars Same reference with same dial in better condition. My sneaking suspicion is that they are original.

These watches look great. That is an unbelievable mint condition after so many years.

So I now have better quality pictures. I go for original also because the seller has a story that sounds OK. What do you think after these pictures. BTW, if it is a redial it must be a pretty old redial also given the patina. All comments MUCH appreciated!

I had to cut a bit since the pictures were too large. Here another two.

I am confident the dial is original. The problem is the condition of the watch particularly the dial. Because of the condition I would pass on this watch. I personally would try and find examples closer to the ones in my collection pictured earlier in the thread.,

It does look original, although I am surprised at how some of the markers are misaligned with the minute track.

Many original watches of the time with similar misalignements have been shown here, 40s-50s technology had shortcomings.

It is in and I love it. Again thank you all for the extremely helpful answers. I have it now three hours and I think this one will never leave. I simply like this kind of patina where you can actually see it is an old watch and the little “bell inside” is great.
