Hi all,

A lot of watchers on this one... Can I please ask for an expert’s opinion on this watch to make sure I haven’t missed anything glaring.

It looked good at first glance, however, I’m not entirely certain about the logo - font looks okay but something doesn’t look entirely correct but I’m not quite sure what; possibly not straight which would suggest a redial. It might just be the angle of the photo?

Is it common to get crowns a different colour to the case? I’ve had a search but couldn’t find anything on the forum or google.

It has the concentric circles in the subdial.

The price is BIN €299 ~ £260

Thanks in advance for helping out, I’m still on a learning curve.

 

Also, I’ve been on the OVD which didn’t return anything when searching the case number.

 

The sub-dial deserves a hard look IMO.

 

I don't like the SWISS MADE, second hand is strange as well.

 

The “Swiss made” font looks a little compressed and spaced too widely? Could be the angle of the dial shot. The crown may be a replacement.

 

Thanks for the reply’s and observations, guys. Sub hands and crowns I can live with but SWISS MADE might be a bit off, maybe to the angle but not sure.

One to give a miss then given the uncertainties.

Thanks again

 

In my opinion dial is refurbished.

 

For me it ticks all the boxes except:

1) crown is a younger replacement
2) sub-sec hand is likely wrong (too long)

IMO the dial is original
the case is very crisp, the movement also - so no contradiction to a good looking dial - all is consitent

 

Again, thanks for the observations, very useful.

Agreement on the crown and second hand but some differering opinions on the dial. At this point I haven’t a clue now tbh but have taken on board all observations and comments.

 

i'll get it for £260.

 

looks like a redial to me I'd pass on this one .

 

Redialed IMO

 

lack of symmetry in the sub dial indices...redial methinks

 

Cheers chaps. I struggle to see things like that about the sub-dial but my eyes aren’t as well trained.

Ta.

 

Looks redial to me

 

I was going to say it was nice, then zoomed in to the bottom of the dial .... And agree with everyone else. I'd be tempted to give it the benefit of asking for a direct-on photo of the dial then get my ruler out. But even if the differences in angles on the subdial are down to distortions from the crystal, there's still the unevenness of the print .... And there's still that odd "Swiss made" .

All that said, the price is pretty cheap.

 

I think that all is OK except the crown - main reason for which I would leave it is that it is 28mm - i.e. lady's size.
Clean dial, clean movement

 

No, it's not a ladies size.

 

And I'd say the crown is correct but has lost its plating. There's plenty of other reasons to think three times about the watch than the crown.

 

Correct, and only have little wrists

Thanks @jimmyd13 , here is another front on shot. Still not great but I think it’s as good as I’m going to get.
