Appreciate your ideas on what I have here - dial doesn't have twin stick markers at twelve making me think it's an old service dial and I have never seen that bezel before, indeed that dial and bezel combo, but that doesn't mean anything - thoughts before I seriously consider an offer? And does that crown guard look odd?

Hi John,

dial and hands look like they come from a SHOM, cal. 1002, but I have never seen the case and bezel before.

It also confuses me, that on the last pic the crown is on the legt side.

Nevertheless an interesting example,

best regards, Max

edit: case could be a 166.0250 baby Ploprof

Thanks, Max. Agree on the dial and hands, and that bezel and case is just odd. Well spotted on the last pic, but that is a crown from a watch resting beside it. I will try and remove it to avoid any further confusion.

My first thought was the bezel was taken from a Seiko. Maybe the case too?

Cheers.

Any chance of getting photos of the inner & outer case back and movement? If not you’ll be taking a big gamble.

Ah, got you on the crown.
I vote for a 166.0250 with service dial( No Ts), service hands and a fantasy bezel,

best regards, Max

Exactly. I've asked and if none are forthcoming soon then that's the end of it.

Maybe the steel part of the bezel is correct, only a wrong( maybe Seiko) bezel insert.

Best regards Max
