a picture always helps things

the christies 33.3 w/ mushroom pushers



the christies lemania also mushroom pushers


and phillips

 

Phillips wins

 

... and not one speck of dirt or moisture on any of those. It fires up my paranoia nicely.

 

where's our 33.3 experts and our dial detectives. . .

 

Is it just me or are the logos not centered on both dials from Christies?
And the Omega of Christies has painted hands on subdials.

 

The Christies Omega sold for US$20K about 5 years ago... through Christies. The Omega logos are not the same between Christies and Phillips. Lemania logo looks off center but could just be the photo. I would say the dials are likely original to the era (in as much as they are consistent with other dials touted as original from this era) but are they original to the watches or were there some unsigned dials found and doctored? And while Tissot and Omega often used the same dials Lemania usually did not follow suit. Some exceptions to this of course. Original or not, I'm not a huge fan of this dial style compared to others from this era.

 

By the way, these are olive pushers, not mushroom
