Hi Again,

Wondering if this watch is correct? looks like that the crown is replaced, is that so?

Thanks in advance!

looks all ok except for the crown, and possibly hands (Need to do more research)
nice and rare black dial version

crown should be signed on these, have not seen these hands on a TO and think they are incorrect

Thank Fred & Rene.

Pity that this one is not all correct as the watch looks really awesome!

Are the original hands and crown easy to find?

How good is the caliber 125?

I don't mean to hijack your thread my friend. However I came here to ask about an old watch I was gifted by my grandfather. He couldn't tell me much about it. Turns out the watch I came here to ask about, is also a Transocean, very similar to the one you've asked about. So to avoid another thread, I thought I could maybe post some pictures here.

Can one of you help me date the watch maybe? I would also like to know if this is a watch I should be wearing or keep in a box. Thanks a lot :)

can't really precisely date it, but the TO was launched in 1957 and produced until the early 1960s, so that provide a rough range - if you have a watchmaker open the watch, you'll find a serial inside the caseback, then we can tell you the case production year.

have it serviced, wear and enjoy it; the solid gold TO are rare and lovely birds !

you'll find period catalogs and more info in the thread I linked to above.
