'Gubelin'

Bought this Baylor watch in November 1990 with a faded dial.  Had the dial refinished in Nov '92 and it came back as a Gubelin so I left it that way.  The trademark on the dial is similar to Gubelin and the dial company made a mistake.  Steel case, gold bezel (?), acrylic crystal, 20mm crocodile strap...the pusher at 8 sets the day of the week.

I've had a lot of dials refinished and there have been a few mistakes made by the dial companies.  One dial company refinished a ten diamond rolex dial and sent it back without the diamonds, just ten holes in the dial but they found them and made it right.  I've also had vintage 'snap back' Bulova, Elgin, Hamilton etc. dials sent back with the wrong brand names.

Baylor is a 'House Brand' of Zayle's Jewelers and there were some very good watches made with the Baylor name on the dial.

I bought one of these in Sept '92 for $140 and traded it away of course;
