    Dear all members, Someone could help me to know how should be really the Dial and hands of this Watch Longines 13.33 caliber around 30s? Dial reprinted or original? Hands original but repainted?

    It is difficult to show you a comparable original example since this dial looks so unlike original dials from the period. The watch is certainly not rare.

    Edit: P.S. Time-only cal. 13.33 are not especially commonplace. However, calling this watch "rare" or even desirable would certainly be a stretch.

    It will not at all be easy. Still, you or a watchmaker may be able to find a suitable replacement which is "close enough".

    The actual (5000 € +) bid is also spectacular. This is no 35 mm case :eek:

    The battle is between two early and aggressive bidders. I have no proof that we're looking at shill bids, but I'm still suspicious.

    Yes, you got that point. Maybe we see it again soon on the bay.
