    Hi all

    Ok... question... legit? To buy or not to buy. Don't know too much about it as the guy cannot tell me too much.

    Cheers!

    Well it is an auction so not sure. Hand on heart have not seen one looking like this before so not sure on value. What is your guess on value? Is it legit?

    Strangely mine says too, but I cannot put my finger on why. Anyone else?

    The minute hand is not right. The dial is suspect and I’m not sure about the case. It just has a bad vibe about it. JMO

    Like Oprah says: "Doubt means don't. Don't move forward" (in this case, don't buy it)

    I wouldn't.

    I thought the font on the dial was off - but just a feeling nothing more.

    Hands and dial are a bit suspicious, as others have said. Have you found similar watches on the web ?

    I think I once came across something similar but I can't remember if it was Zenith or something else...

    Handset is wonky, it tries to emulate "pontife" hands with a straight M and Breguet H ::facepalm2::. Add a modern (quartz?) sweep and voila! I bet redial on top of it.

    Another thing. There are lots of 106 movements around. Be patient if that’s what you’re looking for
