Hello everyone, can you tell me if this watch is original, I mean not repainted? It looks too good to be true. Also, the diameter is only 30mm, I didn't find any other the same and I didn't saw any other with the turtle case, the lugs are unusual. The price is 250 Euro, is it worth it? Thanks for your help!

Hello!

Would you have better pictures from the dial, straight shot high resolution.

I'm not sure to be honest... I don't like the italic logo (but others will be better qualified to answer that), the 7 hour marker seems to preclude into the sub-dial which I find odd, but with the picture angle I can't really say.

The serial number wold date the watch to around 1937.

Fixed lug pins btw?

I don't have any other pictures. The lugs are welded.

Also, the 5 hour marker seems to preclude into the sub-dial.

Redial and incorrect winding crown in my opinion. Would like too see a
picture of the inside caseback.

Case-back looks okay, but as @Radiumpassion stated, the dial has been refinished and the crown is incorrect. Not worth pursuing at 250 EUR or any price, IMO.
