As far as I can tell its all original except the crown. I've tried finding a genuine crown on offrei but it's an absolute mission to find it amongst them all.
Your opinions, honest and true, are appreciated as I'm still learning.

With one of those NOS dials that would be a very wearable everyday watch. Just get one that says CALENDAR on it.

Wonder if the home plate shaped markers from the old dial could be cleaned & installed on the NOS replacement dial?

 

A Franken-dial... I know many here poo-poo refinished dials, however properly refinishing the original one would be a better option IMHO.

Unfortunately they aren't, each style marker usually has a different pin spacing and sometimes even markers which appear to be the same have different pin spacing depending on who made the dial.

 

Thanks for the info.

 

I actually really like the aged look of the dial. I purchased another one (you can see below) with an average dial. The photo from the side angle is a good representation of how it looks. The first photo, as i hoped, made it look a hell of a lot worse than what it does. A risk that payed off. Some im sure would say i payed too much for both but once again i do like the aged dials. I may consider a complete new dial, hands and retain the old if i was to sell it on later with a clean up. I'd not franken those dials though. What a shame that would be.

Looks like some pretty significant damage to the inside of the lugs from an old stretch bracelet with spring loaded ends.

Gold cap looks very worn on the lugs too.

Thanks, hopefully I've done it right this time!

 

Nope!

 

You are right. The previous band did some damage alright.

 

YES!!!
