    Would like to get some input concerning the originality of this piece. I got it in a trade and want to be certain when I put it up for sale. I believe this is a French market bumper. The case is 18ct rose gold, measures 35mm and everything (besides probably the replacement crown) looks original to me. Thoughts?

    Likely redial and very incorrect replacement crown (as you suspected).

    Whoever buys this watch buys it for the case. Redial is excellent work, but modern.

    Proper thin rose gold crown will be near impossible to find.

    Great looking piece.

    I would find the crown with the proper design and have it plated. Won't be a perfect match, but better than current model

    Or sell it as is.

    Yes, French cased. If it is a redial - it looks actually too new - it is a very good one!
