i recently purchased this watch off a italian buyer on ebay. i had originally seen this dial a few years back and fell in love with the art deco font. i paid just over $5K i want to know if its legit. the serial appears modified? dial looks original. hands appear replacements. case shows 18k. references from Sala Book: note the 12551 dial, has no 12555 reference my watch: ebayid: 151268559793 Movment: 287 Model: 12555 Serial: 1037XXX similar one at bogoff: movement: 287 model: 12551 Serial: 959XXX http://www.bogoff.com/wrist/6240.html similar one from Chrono24 Another one found at a previous auction
Looks good. The reference does not apply to the dial, but to the case. UG played mix-and-match dials all the time.
