They describe it as being a redial, sure, but does a cal 752 really belong in there?

I suspect an Extract from the Archives would be very disappointing to the buyer

 

Movement most certainly does not match the rest

 

Thanks guys, I still have along way to go with developing my instincts with these things, but a comfort I'm on the right track, at least this time.

 

Hands are wrong surely.

 

Isn't the 752 a date movement, and there is no date window on that watch.

 

Not only "date" but "day-date" with a wide window!

 

Any movement shots with the listing? Would be interesting to see!

Edit: Yes, there are. Wow, that's crazy!

 

Like this...

Even for a franken it's very odd to use this movement!

 

Fake case?

 

On the positive side, the strap is very nice.....

 

Where there's money to be made, shenanigans will ensue.

Thanks for asking before committing to a purchase!

 

Brother to the 751 in my sparkle dial (<- avatar pic). Yah, I felt that way too, but it wouldn't be the first time a calendar function movement was used sans date ring in a production watch. Doesn't sit right on a SM300 though.

 

It might not be a 752 - it might be just a replacement bridge from a 752 since the 55x, 56x, and 75x series had many interchangeable parts. Regardless, it isn't correct.
