Hi everybody,

Just find this sub ref. 5508 on ebay:

http://www.ebay.ch/itm/290996049348?...84.m1438.l2649

Besides the fact that it was definitely relumed (even badly), my cmain concern is that the number engravings look manipulated. I just can't stand, if someone wants to make the almost invisible visible again (a phenomenon I unfortunately see on tons of vintage watches offered also by the most reputable sellers).

I would be happy to hear your opinions on this watch and I would also be interested, if you have ever come across this seller and what you eventually know about his reputation.

Thanks.

Looks like someone re-engraved it to me

I have been wrong on older engravings once before - and told so.

Therefore, I will pass on commenting.
