Sorry...I uploaded a pic I was using for comparison.....real pic in next post

i definitly wouldn't touch that,the date magnification is way to little for a start, the 'diamonds' look badly set, the winding crown is different, etc etc

A lot of 'custom' parts on that piece.... it's not pretty. Sorry.

Hi splitcane,

Welcome to TRF

I have to agree with Pav on this one, the date mag is way off, but the date window itself show a genuine font and centered perfectly, I'd say at some stage an aftermarket crystal was fitted and not fitted well, I would thoroughly have this watch checked IE service history, pop the back off and look for the usual markings left by a service agent. check the model and serial on the case.
