·Hi,
This watch recently arrived and I'm a bit lost. Per the caseback it is a 2271 1W with a Cal 30 movement with a serial 9088xxx dating it to 1939/40 or thereabouts. Although the case looks like most of the other 2271s out there, my dial has a small sub-seconds: most of the ones I can see on the internet seem to have a much larger subdial. My other question is about the hands: the subdial hand is obviously wrong, but I'm not sure about the minute and hour hands. The bottom photo, from a Bonhams sale of a later 30T2rg chronometer, shows a longer hour hand and a shorter minutes hand in black: which is right?
Any help very gratefully recieved.
