    Dial, Hands, crown all are correct for this reference. They also patina match so
    I would say they were born all together with the watch.
    I would not call the case unpolished though.
    The lugs on the 2990 case, from the top side of the lug perspective,
    the lug sides should angle outward, being wider at the bottom than
    at the top. I would like to see the movement, inside caseback,
    and a view of the bottomside of the watch before commiting to 100% genuine.

    Hi ill get the watch opened and post the pics of dial and movement , ill also try and get some better pics for the case . This watch was bought from the first owner so it's very unlikely that its tempered with ..... But u never know . The dial has become a little yellowish ..... Is there any way to clean it a bit without damaging the markings ? Thanks and regards.

    Let it be...please. Your dial has aging well with nice patina. If you clean it and the color become uneven it will diminish the value.

    Anyway DIBS. I am looking around for Ranchero for sometimes. If you ever want to flip/sell it please contact me.

    I would definitely not try to clean it.
    Strange the way the discoloration is at the bottom of the dial.
    Unless this is an artifact of lighting in picture.
    Almost looks as if water damaged or smoke incursion or something.

    The dial and hands are gorgeous.
