Hey guys. I just recently had received this watch as a gift. I was wondering if anyone had an idea on the reference number of this one, and opinions on if it was a redial. My father picked this up at a garage sale about 10 years ago for 0.50$ and it got lost for some time, and it resurfaced 8 years later. My dad had it serviced ( the watch keeps excellent time) , and my dad said the dial was replaced with a genuine dial, but i have a suspicion it is redialed ( look at the cross hairs and the 12 hour marker. Thoughts?

edit: i know its a bumper movement but not sure of the caliber. I will take this to a watchmaker some time.

 

As mentioned the dial was redone. The movement is likely a 353 or 355

 

Cool, that's what I thought, such a shame. I gotta hunt one down that's not redialled and swap it out. Anyone have an idea for what a dial like this would cost ( ideally NOS or a oem replacement )? And any idea of a cost of such a dial?

 

These dials are NLA. Your best bet would be to post a WTB ad here on the forum or scan eBAY until one comes up for sale. Don't hold your breath .....

 

That's some depressing news, I will post an add / scan eBay.
