I passed over it several times thinking I had decided there was something wrong with it, but each time I came back and realized I couldn't find anything that jumps out at me as an issue

The owner is a French collector who seems to possess a time machine and active on this forum

I wouldn't worry much about the fantastic state of this watch and originality.

If we posted : Full Reference/Model Name/SN .. seems that would do the trick!

I would propose that people post, at a minimum:

1) Reference # in text plus one front photo and one rear photo (showing the case reference and serial), meaning either inside or outside case back. The rear pic would help prevent typos in the reference number, or people misreading the reference number.

2) additional (optional) info could include case size in mm without crown, caliber, and model name (which most don't have).

If this is agreeable, one last issue I see is moderating the thread to control two issues:

A) discussions around redials and other originality issues in any examples posted

B) inevitable side track conversations that people start by not treating it as a three hander reference thread

I'm not sure how to control for that, other than I guess just asking everyone to be conscientious ?

If that makes sense, I guess we can just get started and stop hijacking this poor thread 😁

No problem at all with this seller. An exceptional collector with several decades of experience and watch knowledge, I have met him couple of times in the past.
But at the end: UG "simple" 3 hands watches are not sought after and prices are generally low even in this condition and size.
