I purchased this watch years ago at an estate sale and have always been curious if it is real or not. I am unable to find another watch with this bezel/crown/logo combination so I am having doubts. Any insight would be appreciated and thank you! |

Just to confirm - that should mean it is 18K gold as well?? Would the bezel be solid or plated? Thanks again |

Bezel is solid gold. Bracelet links are not solid. |

I have seen both versions and am wondering if this can help identity the production year. Now I'm curious about the movement as well.... Would the B and D models share the same movement? I am thinking about having it serviced to make sure it will last and to put my mind at rest ![]() Thanks again for your help! |

Don't worry, its still real! The B and D models have the same movements. The prefix letter of the model ref. indicates the material of the watch. A= Steel, B = Steel with gold bezel tabs, pushers, crown, D= steel with gold bezel, etc |
