hey everyone! would love to hear your thoughts on what this reference could be and whether or not it's a re-dial! the seller doesn't know the reference and the only picture posted of the opened caseback is too blur to make out the reference number. I have included all the pictures shared with me that show the case, crown and dial but unfortunately they're not the best quality :/ Thanks for the input!

Do you have any photos of the dial that are in focus?

That looks like a redialed ref. 2759 or similar with a replaced crown and what appears to be replaced hands though the photos aren't too good.

Might it be a late 1950s 14704 with a cal 591 movement - in which case the hands would be correct.

Although, the caseback would then be incorrect.

Ah, interesting - is there a manual wind version of that one?

Aah, I missed the absence of ‘automatic'. That’ll teach me 😀

Yes, even out of focus, the printing looks really wonky.
