This might fly high, more than 50 bids already and some days left...
Interesting dial, uncommon case/lugs, even if the case looks a bit overpolished...
Hmm, let them have it. Roman + Arabic on the same dial--have we seen that with UG before?
Any Roman chrono is going to have Arabic on the subs...
Over-egging the cake?
What do you make of the inept marking....."unadjusted", "Swiss", "Seventeen jewels"?
Lack of space....small diameter, or added later?

From @LouS on a watch I own:
"Movement engravings were made in the US to comply with import regulations. They are found across a number of brands and movements, and frequently dismissed as inauthentic. They are genuine, in the same way as Fab. Suisse dials are in French-imported watches and that goofy lug punch is in Portuguese"
I could be wrong, but many of the hands, the dial, and crown all seem off on this watch.
D desghkSaw this example on Matthew Bain. Would really appreciate opinions before pulling the trigger.
