Piece of history

Mr.David

that's totally fair

since I became a member of the group in 2019, I have been in here at times, I have great respect for all attitudes and opinions from everyone who acts here, there must be no doubt about that, it has nothing to do with the fact that I can't like what I hear or people tell me about.

but people don't seem to listen to what information I'm providing. for example, I know the history of the origin of the watch and who got it in the first place, you cast doubt on the watchmaker and their competence in the area (here we talk about 3 different ones) none of those aspects are taken into consideration, yes I am not that either with med knowledge here, if i was, I hadn't asked. but it's totally ok
as long as I know where the watch originates from, and I trust the people who assess it physically, then it must be overshadowed by people who judge based on the picture,

Couple of things...

You don't get to decide when a thread is done - you have been here long enough to know that, and also know it's not proper to remove photos.

Second, regarding the family history, I can tell you that I get watches in for servicing all the time with all kinds of claims made based on the watch being in the family for long periods of time. Those family histories are often not accurate - it's not because someone is intentionally trying to deceive, but that people just forget that things get done. Virtually every watch I ever had come in with the claim that "it has never been serviced" shows clear evidence to the contrary, so despite that fact that it has been in someone's family for 35 years, doesn't negate the possibility that parts were replaced.

In fact, since crowns and pushers, and even hands are parts that are typically changed during a service, it's very likely that these parts are not original (not what they left the factory with) and are period replacements.
