Hi. I could really use some help from you guys.
I really want to buy this watch ( from a dude on ebay) but i'm not sure if it is real or not. The dude on ebay has 100% positive feedback and over 1000 was bought from him, so i really don't know what to say. Really Hope that you guys can help me.

Not a fake watch.
Case looks sharp.
Crown is correct.
Dial: where is the swiss made? Incorrect crystal? Does not seem to be a redial to me but I am not an expert! Heavy patina/rust
Movement sn ? First 2 digits at l'est
Price?

Hej Jakob.

The best part of this watch is the case, which is unusually sharp. The dial has severe aging which to me makes it hard to love - I like my dress watches to be as nice as possible.

The dial is original (I think I can see the "Swiss" peeking out from the 6 o'clock marker), but the hands are replacements, as they are too long for a pie pan dialed Constellation and miss lume which this one should have.

Velkommen til!

I was almost sure about the hands and the lume plots as those indexes look quircky without them and so do the hands. But not 100% so i m glad you came to make some light 😀

Here is a picture of “Swiss”

I was editing the picture while @ConElPueblo was writing, so I won’t repeat his correct assessment of this watch.

The crown is a replacement, but that is not unexpected and does not bother me. Everything else is covered.
