Hi all,

First post on the forum so please take it easy ;0)

Just after peoples thoughts of this watch I've recently picked up in a deal. It was refurbished earlier in the year, movement serviced, seals replaced, glass replaced, dial refinished, relumed, hands refinished etc. I've included 2 original picture before the work took place (last two). I know the bezel insert is wrong and of course the re-dial but does everything else look right????

Thanks in advance

Adam

Should have left all original or purchased a new dial.

Would have been worth 2-4k more with original dial / hands but I understand some do not like the worn look.

Do you think it’s worth finding a nice original dial and genuine bezel insert??

Caseback looks dubious, looks laser engraved on the outside, and the inside markings are not the right font. Plus the engravings on midcase are also iffy, E for example is wrong. Movement looks fine.

Case is fake (engraving is fake)

Case back is fake (engraving is fake)

Dial is fake (redone like you said)

Hands are fake (seconds hand does not taper)

Bezel and insert are both fake. 

Crown looks gen 703

movement looks gen

737....series serial numbers are a well documented rep flag.

This is a later Phong case and back. Movement and crown gen rest is rep.

I have an earlier version again 737xxx serial except the one I have is not laser engraved. E' s are wrong on mine too...

Still a nice watch just know what you have and enjoy it.

I would have left the old dial and hands....
