    Hey all,
    I can safely say that this is my last purchase of the 2017 (although 10 days still remain ;), anything can still happen)
    However, this one is something I have been looking for a while. The hour marker and numbers are matte gold filled, it's quite pleasing. Flew in all the way form Turkey!!!

    I believe the running seconds hand is not original and the crown seems newer. Gonna put it on a nice tan or caramel strap. Will add photos when I do!
    Please express your thoughts... Enjoy!!!

    I believe it's around the 1950s.

    Maybe an optical illusion but on the subsecond dial the 6 and 12 marks don't seems to be on the same line
    Nice watch overall !!

    Old redial, wrong crown. With a good strap will look better!

    Other pics of the dial, from different angles, would help.

    Thanks for your observations guys... I agree that it could be a redial now that I am looking at it closely. The sub-second dial index are definitely redone and not aligned but the rest seams original, I think?

    Whatever the case... it's a good looking piece and looks great on my distressed gray strap!!!

    If you look at the minute track, it’s very uneven so it’s probably a full redial and perhaps overly polished. But nice strap! I need to get one of that too.

    I'll sell you mine ;)
    I definitely see it's a redial which bothers me but I kinda like the look and feel of the piece, specially the 38mm case so I am torn::shy::

    Hi 77deluxe,
    I think it's a ref 2505 but can't confirm as I am unable to open the case back. Will confirm once I do.
