Hi guys,

here's a few pictures of my watch, i tried to know her history, it was auctionned a few years ago in Paris in quite a famous auctionhouse.


I tried to resist but i am too damn curious to know whether it is 100% authentic or not or in between.

S/N 738753 model 1192, says 1949 in the database

sorry no pictures of back or inside case for the moment

test passed, looks fine !
bit surprised to see a script logo on a '49, but this is one of the early Venus 188 we have seen; a slightly better pic of the dial would be nice though.
case is in exceptional condition.

Those hr/min hands look a little odd Fred. Also the bezel doesn't look like it matches the case either in wear or material. Better pics would certainly help.

cant really take better pictures right now, but what would you like to see ? Seeing inside would be impossible as I have no clue how to open it/ where I could get it done.
