    Hi all, I'm being offered this vintage Baume & Mercier Chronograph from a local seller. My Googling makes me think it's a Landeron 48 from the 1950s. Anyone know enough about these to give an opinion on that dial? I see similar ones on the web. What do you think? Sorry I only have 1 photo. No price has been discussed, but I can probably negotiate a good deal Thanks!

    not the greatest picture but looking at it I would say not the greatest dial either. The secondary registers look quite off center and the Baume & Mercier logo looks pretty heavy, like it was done with a roller and a stencil and maybe some driveway sealant.

    I'd have too really want it and it would have to be cheap based on that picture
