    Nice watch !
    However, he serial is a bit odd it seems it has been overstamped...?
    It would be nice to have a photo from the inside of the back cover and the movement.
    Good luck.

    I have a problem with the stamping as well. This would put me off. We could use some better pics Inc movement and inside case back.

    Is the dial original. 6 o'clock subdial printing looks very heavy.

    It's a nice watch with most of its original parts - the sub-second hand is an incorrect replacement part and the month/day wheels are most likely correct NOS replacement parts. The dial has its original finish although with some damage and the case has seen a fair amount of polish. Regarding the price, you should do your own research into what other comparable examples have sold for.

    I don't get it, they stamped a number, then a "1" heavyer on top of it ? That is why it would be interesting to se the inside of the cover...

    I trust that other members like jordn know far more than me about UG. I would have guessed reprinted dial, because no tachy scale, extra thickness printing on the 6 oclock subdial, and a very odd looking swiss.

    There are some dial variations without tachy and the 'Swiss' looks that way because of parallax. Regarding the hour register markers, they are supposed to be thicker than the ones found on the other three subdials. Everything about the OP's dial is correct.
