    Note: If an administrator could fix the spelling of my title, I'd appreciate it. I don't think I can do it myself.

    Does the dial look original? I found a poster with a very similar design. What about the seconds hand?

    The crystal presumably is warping the subdial.

    Looks legit, but second hand probably is a replacement.

    I like the look. Different from the current porces that kept some history.

    Does anyone think the case has been a bit too aggressively polished ?

    Hard to say, sometimes the wear on these early old models gives them a very polished look.

    Hi, I agree that it's a filenios, not an Euroos (which doesn't have the crown integrated in the case and is less square).

    Here is the Filenios in a 1937 Italian catalog :

    and here is the Euroos in the same catalog :

    A picture of the Euroos (original hands but bad redial, I'm still looking for an original dial for this one) :

    And the Filenios (different but original 1934 dial & hands) :

    The dial of your Watch looks legit to me even if the second hand railroad appears small. However I have one with the same small railroad in my spare parts drawer (wit hheavily polished case).

    No, the case looks very well preserved, still with crisp edges.

    It has arrived!

    Here are some of my own shots... Don't mind the cheap strap. I had nothing else at the time. Should have just taken it off.

    He seemed very nice and was concerned with it going to a good home.
