    Hello all,
    I'm looking at this watch for sale at an auction, and I'm not sure about the dial and the case back.
    Looking at the dial, where the crosshair meets the 'constellation'. is that not a bit off the mark? And when do the constellations have the word 'Officially certified' and when not?
    And the case back is completely worn, No stars visible at all. I have not seen it like this before. Is that genuine or a fake?
    mmmm.

    Have fun with the photo's.

    Best regards,
    Reinold

    Hi Reinhold and welcome on the Forum!

    Dial looks correct, crosshair is exactly where it should be

    No "Officially certified" is corret for some production years at the beginning of the 1960ies

    I think caseback is correct but totally overpolished!!! (Rest of the case probably also)

    Dial is also damaged between 3 and 6

    Most people here would avoid this watch for shure!!

    Keep looking!

    EDIT:
    +1 Hands are wrong also (Too long and with lume)

    Crown is wrong or a later replacement
