Nice piece. It has the wrong style crown and the blue screws in the movement are replacements but otherwise looks pretty good. The serial number is probably lightly stamped under the 2114 in the back cover or maybe inside the back cover.

I think that there is a serial number there - often very faint on these, but if you look at the zoom view it looks like there is something underneath the reference number.

Crown is a replacement, movment's been serviced with incorrect screws, otherwise it looks OK to me.

Edit, Paul beat me to it.

quite nice, really. crown wrong, 2114 should actually have the fixed tachy bezel, 2112 the turning 12h variant, but have seen that quite often, might be an issue for perfectionists, case is in excellent condition.


edit: beat by both Paul & Roff, but ...

My understanding is you could get any of the three bezels available.

The 2114 is on the right with a different bezel than what the OP's watch shows. I'm thinking all of the different bezels were offered across the range and you could get any with the 2114 but it was fixed and didn't rotate.
