·Hmm, the vintage dress chrono bug seems to have bitten me badly... and this time with UG...
I'm normally not a big fan of heavy patina, but the moderately brown patina is actually quite appealing (at least to me) with the RG case. And the patina at least reduces the chance this is a redial (which I don't think it is).
I think the hands are correct. Movt (cal 287) seems OK? Not sure about crown though. Case is somewhat polished but I can live with that.
My questions are:
1. Is this a franken? I can''t quite find a similar one using google and the reference no. from the seller (Ref 12545)
2. what are those stubby things protruding inwards from the lugs in the movement picture? do they replace spring bars? Does one just kind of shimmy a strap onto them??
Thanks folks for your advice and opinions!
