I need some help. Anybody knows if this observatory is original? checking i saw that it doenst have the edge around the observatory as usual. thanks

 

Looks ok to me. In good sharp condition too. I'm sure the experts will weigh in soon.

 

The whole caseback is fake. The caseband appears fake as well, unless it's a solid gold case that's been over-polished. (And gold case doesn't go with steel back.) Any pictures of the inside?

 

Observatory pendant looks good.

 

Absolutely not good or ok at all. There is only one reference that has a back looking close to that, but for a solid gold model only.

 

Thank you all for return. Attached the photo of the inside.

 

So the back is not fake/counterfeit, but actually an all steel back from a later model with the medallion painted or plated yellow. The steel dog-leg caseband got similar treatment, but still look like a fake one, not genuine.

The movement and dial appear to come from a real gold dog-leg model though.

 

Yes, gold painted! I was thinking the same.

Whatever it is, or is trying to be, it should certainly not be bought. I'm curious as to the asking price?

 

the owner is asking 750 usd. has a box and guarantee. i will not buy. many thanks

 

many thanks.
