Hi @handoyo.lim , sorry, but I find a few concerning things about this watch - the logo, the subdial numbers, crown, among others. What do you guys think?
Hey @aap,

No apologies, please. I posted this here cause I wanted to get some feedback.
I've been told by a couple of people that this is a redial.
Of course seller claimed that this is as original as it can be. She has a V72 movement. I've opened the case back, movement checked out and signed and everything. Any feedback is welcome.
This purchase was one of those love at first sight (it didn't occur to me then that the dial could have been a redial).
I saw her on the display and was attracted right away. 😉

At the end of the day, it's about how one likes it! Enjoy the watch 😀

You're reading into it too much Lou. Occam's razor says the watch is made of a boy, a book and a tree. Must have been made during UG's weird days.

Seriously, apparently it is a spanish saying: "en la vida hay que hacer tres cosas: escribir un libro, plantar un árbol y tener un hijo

It is hand made crocodile strap. Im not original owner of this watch, so I dont know the story about that. I asked google, he tell me:

Many have heard the saying that "in life you have to do three things: write a book, plant a tree and have a child," but very few know why.
This popular saying, is based on the adaptation of a prophetic account of mujámmad, the messenger of Islam. Although it is so well known, few know its meaning and the purpose of these three things mentioned, which are: the son, the book and the tree.
Write a book: the book quoted in the famous saying, refers to the knowledge or knowledge that can leave some person after studies or research. However, such knowledge must be beneficial and helpful to people.
Plant a tree: the person who plants a tree or puts the seed of it to grow, will be rewarded, every time a person eats the fruit of the tree, lay under his shadow or can benefit in any way
Have a child: when we grow old, our children will take care of us and when we die they will be our legacy, our offspring.

Maybe the watch was awarded when the receiver achieved the child-book-tree trifecta
