Well it's a nice idea :lol:

Wonder what the movement is in there - by the hands locations it would appear that it must be a ratty movement rather than two hands on the same arbor.

crown-controlled Rattrapante would indicate Venus 179 ?

Didn't even pick up on that - you're right of course.

It was a big deal for the buyer. Not a Top Time, but maybe a complet original 762 Duograph, only with a Top Time dial. The buyer need only to find a correct dial and he has a 15000,- Dollar Duograph Rattrapante.

I would liked to have seen the movement inside that. Attaching a second fake sweep hand would be a major feat!

"finding" a dial would be impossible, I'm afraid.
it will end up with a brand new dial, still a good buy.

Contacted seller and it is a Duograph with Top Time dial. Top Time dial was install at some point as it is perfect fit. Has no idea what happened to the original dial.
