Greetings, all! Saw this on eBay and took a liking to it. Description says dial is original. I read several threads about 26.5 SOB powered watches and Fab Suisse dials and nothing jumps out at me as being wrong. Admittedly, I know nothing about these watches. What do you think? Any red flags? http://www.ebay.com/itm/281907071749?_trksid=p2060353.m1438.l2649&ssPageName=STRK:MEBIDX:ITPurchases made through these links may earn this site a commission from the eBay Partner Network Thank you in advance!

I think the dial is original. See the first dial above. Similar, but not exactly the same. The "Fab. Suisse" marks it as from France or its colonies. Nice little watch. gatorcpa
crown is OK, hands are not matching together. If it was originally the sam cofiguration as the one shown by Gator, hour hand is not original. it looks like a ck816, which is 30mm diameter and not 32. Could well be another reference also.
why so negative? depends on the price; it is a nice watch as is. the hand is not a big problem..... kind regards. achim
The different dial shown by MP does not in any way discount the likely originality of the subject watch. Across all brands different dials can be found on the same references.
