Hi Guys...
I just got this beautiful 27A recently and it's gone to my watchsmith for a dial change.
The watch tested to 50m waterproof, keeps time well and looks pretty great. I may get another dial down the track if I can, or possibly turn it into a 28 depending on my mood.
One thing that has to be fixed is the date change mechanism, apparently there is a fine spring in the mechanism that needs replacing...
The main thing that I see needing fixing is either the cyclops, or the date wheel, not sure which at this point... The date seems too big for the cutout on the dial, and the cyclops seems too small, or maybe a combination of both. Either way, it's too hard to read comfortably and seems to be a dead giveaway...
Maybe someone here can offer some advice based on this photo, or if more views are needed, please let me know. I tried to get a shot as dead on to the center of the dial as possible, and then one straight onto the date wheel:
