I take it all back!
The seller has just relisted it because there was a genuine error in the listing.

In his listing, he says he will only ship via USPS description of jewelry. So I checked Singapore's shipping details under USPS and they prohibit items that are shipped as jewelry.

I don't want to be a burden to the US side of OF..... and I guess I don't like it enough to hassle anyone of you guys haha. It's still a gorgeous piece though.

the "9" at the top dial is different from the rest of the sub dials...looks like redial, though i'm no UG expert haha

No. At least top subdial is refinished.

Redial IMHO
30 minutes counter overlap the tachymeter scale.
I do not think that is correct.
Diameter of the tachyscale is too small.

There are many things wrong with this dial.
A proper dial..

Yep. It's interesting to note the mix of flat and rounded 3's on genuine aeros. Normally a rounded 3 would be a no-no, but in the upper register on this model they are correct.

Hey guys, I found this dial in a tin with its movement. Unfortunately no day/date/moon wheels. Can the dial be saved...is it even worth it, or is it too far gone and/or redial? I haven’t seen that font of the large “4” before.

I don’t have a pic of the movement but can get one if anyone is interested to see it.

I didn’t find the case in the lot 🙁

I was a lot more interested when it was listed at 35mm case. Now corrected to 32mm. Looks nice but on the smaller side.

Looks original but thrashed. Don't think it's really usable IMO. Movement might be worth something, depending on condition.

I have a Cal 263. It’s all about wrist presence. These have that military look. Doesn’t bother me.

Yah, I still think there’s a big difference between the smaller and larger range of these. Are you talking about your outdoorsman or something else?
