The "B" doesn't look right to me.

Looks like the B logo has been added for some reason. Can't imagine why. Notice that it's not centered under the 12 which is a dead giveaway something is amiss.

Per Kurt's post, I have seen them once or twice before, but also agree that this one doesn't look right.

the script "B:'s I have seen always had a black dial , like Kurt's, never white subdials
this one has white subdials and ive never seen a script "B" on a dial with white subdials before

but I am sure someone will buy it and then try to resell as a 'one off' or 'prototype' :)
