Is this watch authentic??

Hi guys, another newbie to the forum with presumably the same age old question…is this watch authentic?

Hi, welcome to the forum! Usually a nice way to start would be to share your thoughts and research first! 😉

I'm a novice, but my 2c that's the correct movement calibre and type of hands, although for a watch from the late 40s that has to be a re-dial, especially for a black dial.

Will wait for the more experience members to chime in though 😀

Thanks for the replies and for the advice also @theluckyluke ! My limited knowledge and research lead me to believe that it is prob legit but date was 1951 and almost certainly a redial. I believe I read somewhere else that black dial is quite typical of this and esp as it seems very clean. I’m new to both this forum and also these watches so I do appreciate the input

Most black dial out there are refinished, so best to be cautious when finding one!

Thanks guys for your input. It confirmed my initial thoughts esp re the dial. I know this significantly reduces any appeal/value from a collectors perspective (and presumably also monetary value) but as a layman and non collector, I’d be interested to know what a watch like this should be selling for from a private seller. It seemed popular online (60 bids) so I got a little carried away on bidding but it may not be too late to walk away with lesson learnt (check properly/ask first!). From my research it seems the prices seem to vary for these models/variations as original without redial (500-1500) so i gather now that this watch would be worth a good bit less. Nonetheless an approx guide on pricing on this would be most helpful so I can perhaps try to overcome my hastiness and also for general understanding re the impact of repainting for my knowledge. Thanks again.

Thanks for the advice @Davidt and appreciate that the stance is different from collectors to lay persons . I clearly fall into the latter category and my hasty (and perhaps silly based from your view) bidding took me closer to 700 gbp although I do like the look of the watch and clearly others like me do also given the other bidding that was there. I guess I have to decide whether it is over valued for my intentions/situation and make a call on it. Thanks again
