I like it , but cant quite decide on whether the dial was redone ? (I never focussed too much on these)

I also like the hand engraving on the inside of the back cover

1943, I assume. but here goes another hope of a piece remaining under the radar, on the other hand I've (more than) depleted my allocated funds anyway. nice.

we should really make a subgroup on BS , with a secret handshake and on invite only, to discuss these 'under the radar' pieces

How about a completely different forum/website called "Fake Busters". If not on BS, we could start a new one to include all fakes? It is totally out of hand on ebay!
