Hi All,
I see that there may be a few (may be 1 ) Eberhard expert among you. I was hoping someone could shed some light to the authenticity of the below watch. I love the Eberhard vintage look and hope to amass a collection of them . Will post some pics of my watches soon - may be this one will be added too? Looks too good for a 1930's watch right - or do enamel dials just fare that well.

Looks like some of the movement has been serviced/changed. Does the dial look original or repainted?

Full disclosure: I am at amateur level when it comes to watches. Any feedback is helpful to me. Thanks.

 

I am no expert on these but that looks like a converted pocket watch.

 

No, it is not a converted pocket watch, it's a nice wrist chronograph

 

Very nice...Not an expert in Eberhard but love this era .. Nothing is sending off alarm signals. Enamel dials are very durable.

 

Can someone help me figure out how to spot a converted pocketwatch vs a real wristwatch when they look like this?

 

Research the brands in the early 20th and you will become more familiar.

 

Also ... These cases tend to be around 35-36mm with fixed or wire lugs 14-16MM . Pocket watch conversions that I've seen are much bigger.
