Hello everyone, stumbled on Ranchero that I am curious about. To my untrained eye it checks out, but wanted to get some help in case i missed something obvious.

Dial looks to be original
Hands and lume look original
Case was polished unfortunately
Original 1037 bracelet and end links (no idea what number is printed on the end links)
Crown looks correct
Should be 2990-1 but cant verify without serial # and movement # (no pics or mention of either)







Thanks very much for the help

 

Looks proper to me. Dial appears to have some slight markings which is common with these but the lume on dial/hands look nice. Hands look correct as well.

 

I doubt the 1037 came with watch originally but it matters less in the scheme of things. Sometimes these bracelets have a date stamped on the hinge of the clasp mechanism.

 

Doing some reading, seems they came with black strap, but buyer had an option of a bracelet as well. 3 different options apparently, 7077 being one of them.

 

Nice example!

 

I saw this and thought it was a redial! Now I know better and will keep an eye out for others.

 

Correct and very nice!

 

I'm not sure the crown is correct. It's not the typical bowler hat style... @gemini4?

 

From what I can see, crown appears correct

 

Crown should be the hat shaped one as @BenBagbag mentioned, not a deal breaker though. The rest looks good.

 

Thanks everyone for the help. Someone liked it/knew more than me and got it a bit after I posted this. Coincidence or not, cant say I blame them, as price came out to around $4K

 

Where did you find it?

 

Pretty awesome watch and $4K sounds about right (a bit high) for a watch of this caliber.

 

How much did you pay for your ranchero(s)?

 

$700.00

 

Looks excellent... Wish I could stumble like you.

 

If this is true link me all the ones selling under 4k so I can have a go at them.

 

Nice dial!
Here it's mine with the black dial.

 

Looks like dial and hands have been relumed and the crystal is wrong?

A nice watch though.

 

Dial is original Radium. I checked with my geiger counter. The dial and the hands glow under the UV.
The crystal was changed in the past
Thank you
