    Hello everyone!

    I would need advice since a few months ago I made a swap with another collector and among the pieces I received was this watch that I do not want to keep, I'll see if I can put it on sale in my Ebay account. Since I want the sales operation to be clear, I would need to be told if there are spare parts or something that should be highlighted at the time of publication, I do not want anyone to feel cheated when buying.

    The watch in general seems to be original, the central second hand seems suspicious to me, since I do not see that it matches the general aesthetics of the watch, but as I do not know this mark (Girard Perregaux in general I do not like it, except for its chronographs) is that I ask you to take a look and tell me if there is something else that is not original or that does not correspond to the model.

    Thanks in advance for any contribution they could make.

    I agree with about the seconds hand. It seems mismatched and a bit too short. But who knows?

    The hour and minute hands don't look right to me either. The crown should be gold rather than silver, although it is possible that the plating was polished off.

    Hope this helps,

    I also thought that the hands of hours and minutes did not match, but then I found an old Ebay publication where there was a model with the similar dial and very similar hands. But maybe you're right and it's not the originals, I really do not know.

    Thanks for your help Gatorcpa!
