Is it just me? it looks like a horrid redial to me.
So yes it's a 35mm tre tacche -- but how did it reach 2600 US dollars??

Longitards. That how.

Omegatards, Longitards, Zenitards, Universally Genevatards... These are the people who do these things.

 

That's a model that is in bubble territory, which would explain the price. As for the dial, I'm not certain that your assessment is correct. Whenever a crystal is in such poor shape, it makes it very difficult to confidently judge the dial. The signature looks pretty good to me, as well.

 

The signature looks totally fine, but the one big problem I had, was that when you magnify the subdial on Ebay, you see the indexes blatantly overrun the raised edge of the subdial. It's quite obvious. Other imperfections could be explained away by the crystal, the age of the watch, fading etc -- but this?

 

The subdial was a clear indication to me, as well.

 

Ugly redial. Apart from the poor signature and reckless subdial, the condition of the dial does not match that of the movement or case. The crown is not original either.

The world is full of silly people.

 

Food for thought.

 

+1 for redial. Hopefully, whoever won this one finds this thread and cancels the transaction (the listing says 100% genuine).

 

The same seller is offering this piece.

Deep pocketed newbie?
Or perhaps an (unscrupulous?) dealer who thinks he /she can sell it at a premium after having the dial refurbished by someone who does a nice job with it.
At this price though, I'm not sure they could turn a profit without a lie ....

 

I dont call 'em Poor Redials anymore[emoji1]
I got a new term. It's called a BMW
( Bastardized Military Watch )[emoji41]

Hi @Flingit1200s .The Fool has already parted with his money. That watch was sold a few hours ago !

 

The term "Bastardized military watch" is a very good and catchy one, but the reason I would use it is because this is just not a military watch at all. All of the watches claiming to be military which are not just make me cringe.
