Re: Help needed please
In Response To: Help needed please *PIC* ()

Hello,

after Marks thoughts one other thing comes to my mind. When we look at those pictures the case seems to be in pristine condition. Almost as new. Not really what one would expect from a military issued watch. So either also refinished (but very good) or a NOS service part. It would be nice to know the serial number between the lugs. The reference shouldn't be there in my opinion (to early). But I wouldn't be surprised if there is also no serial. I've seen several spare cases on ebay in the past that had none.

It would be great to learn more about this mysterious watch.

Best,
Manuel

: Hi Guys,

: I'd like to have your opinion about this one ? It looks weird in
: some way, dial, hands, engravings etc... No ?
: here are the points that make me a bit suspicious for this watch

: 1 Engravings are shallow but look to be the same font as originals.
: On other original ones the font varies from watch to watch so
: may be it's normal

: 2 Heuer on the dial is thinner than originals (redial?) ->sadly
: a beautiful nos similar dial was sold on CT yesterday

: 3 Hands too short but I cannot find two examples with the same
: hands on these watches..

: I don't know if these watches should have a serial number between
: lugs or not

: Thanks for you're help
