EDIT:
With the missing 24 hour hand, it means that the movement is most likely not Exp II movement that uses the 24 hour hand. But post some more pics, lug holes etc. so we can evaluate the rest.

What happened to the edit feature by the way? It won't work!

I guess the edit function only work 30 minutes after you post, so you have to correct things immediately.

The bezel looks a bit funny. A little small maybe?
