pics are much too small to say anything relevant about condition, though I see no reason to believe it would be franken. |

as assumed, authentic; hands might be a (correct) service replacement. |

make sure the crown is correct, these are tough to replace and I can't tell from the pics. |

not, just ask the seller to confirm it has a signed crown & get the diameter. |

diameter of the crown - just to check it is correct. |

WatchFred I don't want to over step the mark on your time or effort but does this look ok too? http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/291026527620? ... 1423.l2649 |

bezel was apparently damaged, so somebody reduced the black paint altogether, so this one's a no for this price, though the dial is nicer. |

Fred: Agree! The bezel of the first one seems to be processed through a turning machine (hope this is comprehensive?), scalering is fading, crown seems to be too small (no big deal). The bezel of the second one seems to be polished. cal_11 |
