·I was in a thrift shop this weekend and came across this watch. A little beat up, but cheap enough to be worth it. (I'd rather have a legible original dial than some of the redials out there. Anyway...) The dial and hands look original to me, but I'm confused by the case. I'm familiar with the 5 digit reference numbers, but this case lacks one. I have a few different ideas. Either the number was polished off for the engraving, the movement was recased at some point, or the watch predates the start of their numbering convention. I just wasn't able to find something that looked similar. Maybe I didn't look hard enough. Any thoughts would be appreciated.
