    Once again that black edge around the bezel is sort of like melting towards the dial... must be a common thing with those

    What do you think of the dial in picture number 2? The text doesn't look quite right, or could be my eyes....:cautious:

    Distortion from the curve of the crystal and scratches.

    Yea when you consider a crystal and service is a standard requirement when buying an 861 of that era used, adding the bezel isn't much more, especially when the case is that nice.

    I guess because it looks like a bunch of grains of barley. ::confused2::

    It's a caliber 344 I think - the swan's neck regulator and subdial seconds are probably the tip offs. I think the 342 only had the stick regulator.
