Servius
·Hello OF,
I've spotted this watch at an auction, and am suspicious about the dial. For once the pics are pretty good and in focus, so let's start with what I can see.
The crown looks like rose gold ( 😕 ). The case looks pretty crisp, with (double) eagle head marking, french for 18k gold, consistent with the Fab. Suisse on the dial.
The auction house doesn't want to open the watch, as they don't want to damage it with an improper tool or awful skills, so no movement shots.
They are talking about a two-tone dial, thing that I can't see at all on the picture. The inscription on the dial looks nice, and makes me think of an example displayed on OJTT (which might be itself a redial...)
So my guess is that it's an old redial, but I'm completely unsure about it. What do you all think about it?
Thanks for reading,
