Please, let me know your thoughts:

1- Dial seems to be in exceptionally good conditon or has been redone. What are you thoughts?

2- There is a star on the back case, I've never seem this in any other model, unless printed in the dial. What does it means? Is it legit?

3- The model nuber is not legible. I couldn't contact the seller to update pictures, any guess?

Thank you in advance.

1. My guess from looking at the extra space between the movement and the edge of the case that this a “jumbo” case, probably Ref. 2505 or similar.

2. Dial is way too white for a 70+ year old watch. Almost certainly a redial.

3. The star is a makers mark for the case.

Hope this helps,

Refinished dial for sure, zero collector value.

What is the asking price?

The bidding is at ~U$250,00, my guess is that I cant get it for less than U$300,00
