Can anyone speak to originiality? The lugs look nice and sharp, but I have no idea about the hands/lume/etc.
Also, I haven't bought a watch in months. So dibs!

 

I can't speak to the originality, but I have to say that is a great looking watch.

 

It's either the best re-dial I've ever seen or.......
It's a fine looking watch, I'd have it any day (if I had the cashola).
The BIN is a bit high and I see Dennis has already made a $1 offer (didn't know he was into Wittnauers )

My recommendation - Go for it, or rue the day.

 

Norm actually sold one at or near that price.

this one looks better in the lugs lugs than the one Norm sold (though it may just be Norm's photo's).

 

I know the seller, who happens to be an excellent watchmaker as well. Completely trustworthy, and knows his stuff.

 

Decided to take a pass on this one after making a few lowish offers. the buyer got it for $1100, which seems like a fair price.
