Several obvious flaws on this piece... middle links are solid, the m's dont line up, the 9 is open. Still a quality piece. The date snaps into place at midnight, the crystal is sapphire, and the links use screws. Its funny, the jeweler that removed the back wasn't positive that it was fake, "and if it is, it's a really good one". The lighting was terrible so I couldn't get a good picture of the movement, but using a loup I was able to find the letters "SE". I dont think it is a swiss movement, what do you guys think?
