I think that the bridge engraving is clearly very recent and not very well done. |

May be correct, it's consistent although the hands are obviously replacements designed for a much smaller watch. The case looks OK - big spacer on these for the movement as the case is relatively large (37mm). |

If the bridge were engraved (and we are in that period of maybe / maybe not), then this is the style of engraving that we would expect to see, but to me neither example looks refined enough to be real. |

A quick search here found this - viewtopic.php?f=11&t=24136. Not perfect photos, and I can't prove that it's correct, but the engraving looks 'sharper'. |

I'm having a difficult time getting past the distinctive "7" on the dial. I just don't recognize that on a dial of the period. |

I tend to forgive things like that because I have seen so many different font styles on these pieces. I'll agree that it's unusual, but there are a whole heap of unusual dial markings on pieces contemporary to this. |

strange. would definitely not have expected a bridge engraving on a SS 40s 179. posting some 40s engraved bridges in our "pre-50s bridge" thread to keep the info consolidated: viewtopic.php?f=11&t=36832&p=274519#p274519 |
