hmmmmmmm........ nice it is, but a 1944 case and a post 1953 dial, no "Premier" - that also seems about 1mm too small for the case ....... don't think the dial started it's life in this case, sadly. |

question(s) , why would you want to turn down and sand down the caseback ? (look at how the ladies head is worn down) and then how come the numbers are not worn down at all and do not show wear like the ladies head ? - what needed to be hidden by sanding down the back - why does it look like the numbers were added after sanding ?

Thanks watchfred n Dracha for the comments. It does look suspicious after you pointed it out.. |
