Hello All, My mom gave this to me because it belonged to my father, but he passed away. My mother and I wants to know if this is a fake or the real deal. Thanks.
It's real, and as the folks have stated, not one of the high collectibles but it's still a nice watch and is eminently suitable as a daily wearer.
I am really happy to hear that...It is missing the crown, by any chance you guys know where I can get a replacement...
You can order them yourself from Otto Frei, but unless you are going to install it yourself, best go to a good independent watchmaker who will be able to do it for you.
You are possibly also missing the stem. Your best bet is to consult a trusted watchmaker in your area to find out what model number you have and they can then source a genuine item for you. Or you can use the information to get one from Ofrei, Borel etc. and your watchmaker can fit it. It'd be a good idea to get it serviced at the same time as the missing crown.stem may have allowed moisture/humidity into the case.
