    This one has a OXG mark on the bridge, but lacks the "unadjusted/adjusted" mark. Furthermore, the sellers claims the EOA states: delivered to the UK..as of my knowledge, any OXG marked Speedies where delievered to the U.S.

    The seller is "fair" enough to state it's redialed, but..could this be a swapped serial brigde to make the movement match this 105.012?

    A bit of a Franken watch I would think. All OXG were for the U.S market.

    Who purposefully censors the outside rim of the case back in an auction picture?! Looks like the movement has taken a bath at some point

    He says it's a personal engraving and he covered it..for whatever reason..to make this thing appear misterious? It is already, by the OXG to UK..
    All I'm actually interested in is not IF it's a Franken, but to what degree :)

    having the Excerpt from the factory, why would somebody swap the number bridge? it makes more sense, that the balance bridge was replaced during a service with an OXG signed one. in the past nobody really paid attention the these, as long as the watch was back in working condition. maybe the regulator needed attention? anyway, the balance bridge without OXG should be easy to source. even a swap with another mix match..... kind regards. achim

    Just the other way around: having the bridge and the EOA might help to adjust the movement to the Reference. That's why someone would swap it. But the OXG-Service theorie might as well be true, even though I'm quite suspiciuos nowadays..

    The seller replied, Extract states a UK delivery. Year and first two digits of the watch were visible on the Extract, the rest covered, just like the inscription on the caeseback, reason stated was that he doesn't want to allow to follow up were this watch was bought.
    He nevertheless ignored to answer if he bought it from an Italian dealer, but he has of course no doubts about the authenticity.
