That one is an interesting one. Case is just about perfect and looks absolutely correct for 59. Particularly the crown guards. Have a very distinct shape on 59 only. Remember that thing I told you about the dials to not tell anyone else, I can see the same thing there which tells me the dial is legit and not relumed. I have not inspected the insert enough to tell if it is a correct long 5 red triangle or a regular long 5 where the triangle has been redded. Maybe I will do that one of these days.
Based on how great the case is, as well as something that was once pointed out to me by someone else, I suspect that one is not a MN watch which many of these are. A different fellow that I talk with a lot who was also on here, and a great fellow collector, has one of these in almost as nice condition but also not a MN.
