Hi All, I have never seen any cut outs for the markers and numerals on any vintage pieces before aside from the modern Panerai. Is this something exclusive to Logines? Or an inspired intervention? http://www.ebay.com/itm/350929488367?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1423.l2649Purchases made through these links may earn this site a commission from the eBay Partner Network
That's called a sandwich dial, and I suspect that Longines would have been skilled enough to make it without needing screws at 3, 6, 9, and 12. That might be a real Longines dial, but something very fishy is going on with that watch. I think we've discussed this seller before.
Those screws are awful and ruin the whole watch. I wouldn't wear it if you gave it to me. As for cutout dials, they appeared on many brands in the 1930s and 1940s. Here's a Zenith example I picked up in Melbourne
Got my attention too - case is near to untouched. Lucked out on this one - found it in a shop that dealt principally in vintage Omega, and they didn't know Zenith well (mwahahahaha!). I won't say it was downright cheap, but it wasn't expensive.
Thanks Lou and Dennis, never knew sandwich dials have been around for that long! Yeah, this fishy seller "sold" a speedmaster pre-pro for $20,000 about a week and a half ago.
What are the reasons for this guy being a "fishy seller" does anyone have any facts as to why people on here feel this way?? Thx!
We've looked at a lot of his listings and there are less than honest descriptions on top of dubious watches.
