    New to the forum but wanted to see if this watch which recently sold on the bay was a fraken watch.
    Dial looks good, crown is wrong but can be easily replaced, hands are incorrect but wonder if at some stage it was serviced and those hand were given as original not available. 552 Movement serial number looks all wrong as its 24 which says to me its from a 1967 model.
    Any thought thanks

    Welcome to the forum. Movement is too late for this reference as you stated, and who knows where those hands came from...100% franken.

    The linked Ad states "There isn't anything quite as nice as the real original genuine article and that is what this is." ::facepalm1::
