The dial is IMO damaged and rediailing is not good idea 馃檨
LOL I think you missed the point.

Very interesting case work. Wonder what it says about the time and place it was made.

Looking beyond what was previously said about the deficiencies with the watch, it is beautiful. Four colours of champleve enamel, seemingly all there (unusual). I think the style is called art nouveau. My guess is 1920s, and it would have been meant for someone with impeccable taste, and deep pockets. I wouldn鈥檛 be surprised if the case was karat gold. The case shape mirrors a Bugatti radiator. Thanks for the heads up.

I love this enamel design too. Maybe I could get enough dosh from an insurance claim to purchase it. Choose wisely they say
