    So at a recent market this popped up and I did a trade and cash for it:

    The dial and hands seem fine (though the seconds hand may be a replacement from service.)

    What I have noticed is that the movement serial has been cut out of the bridge. My alarm bells didn't really ring off and at the time I thought it was a movement featurr without really going "Oh wait there's no serial there!"

    This is a first for me, and suggests that -

    * The movement is a later replacement, or
    * The watch was stolen.

    I have a six month warranty to return it if needed.

    A keeper or return?

    Probably.

    Up to you. I wouldn’t keep it.
