check out these serials..

what do you think about this set of serial numbers?
the actual numbers appear correct but the spacing seems a little close.
what do you guys think?

...the ser#...

...fonts do in fact appear INCORRECT..look closely at the 9, 4, 6 and 5 digits.

...and TOO CLOSE together.

...I would treat this as SUSPECT and NOT purchase.

...Orchi...what say you????

Err buddies...Orchi has no qualms...as much as
the Case Serial nos. are concerned...which are consistently seen on watches
in the 60s n 70s...





Orchi doesn't like the hands on the watch though...BUT that said...
any serious bidders should be able to find the correct hands...
for this watch...

Orchi doesn't like the lugs too...they are in bad shape...n not much can
be done there...

Wonder why the Seller won't post pictures of what's inside the backcase...?

...Orchi...

...take a nutter look at the digits. The 9 and 6 are NOT equal distant THROUGH the arch and come down and nearly touch the circle of the 9 and 6. Even the 5 is incorrect.
