Hello fellow members,

Saw this the other day at small watchmaking shop. Its pretty big Cortebert with some kind of mirror dial simmilar to Seamster and Connie step dials.
Case looks shap but crown is not original from what I could see through a window.

What do you think?
Price is around 100€

I like the design, however no one can say anything
Specific without proper set of pictures.

The watch pictured is sort of mild and main stream looking since Cortebert is known for their wild cutting edge designs. I would think that price is quite good.

Is it a steel case? That would be the dealbreaker for me.
100€ for a decent size and brand in good working and estetic condition that appeal you is a good price IMO! 😀

UPDATE:

SS and unpolished case with generic crown. Looks pretty nice.

That definitely strikes my fancy. The fact that it's in stainless steel is, in my opinion, the green light. Dial condition is nice as well. For 100 euros, there aren't many other options this nice.
What about the movement?

How is the crispness of that black border around the minute markers. If there is any over run onto dial it may have been added to hide dial edge issues.

It’s hard to tell from pictures but between 1-2 and 5-6.

Myself I would keep the $100 for saving to your next watch.

I like it - but I have also always been partial to these two-tone dials.

Agree this needs to be examined very closely. You need to look at that dial with a loupe.

Found the same model but in little bit better condition, regarding a dial.
