Ahhhhhhh, one of those ultra rare clear acrylic see through case backs as this watch does not appear to be one of the rare 1930s models that had one . Nothing screams ultra rare like that!!!

The dial is genuine, it’s from a 31mm 77080.

And you think not reworked?
Looked reworked to me.

Look at the "6"should that not be like 9 or 3? Looks lumed (painted) rather than raised number (markers)
Also the mark between 'L' and 'E' of ROLEX
A

No it’s just damaged and the 6 o clock marker is missing, not that it makes any difference. It’s still an eye sore.

Ah Ok
Not just missing - incorrectly repainted!
So we agree it may be an original ROLEX dial, but has been (badly) reworked - hardly original

No it’s just missing. That’s what they look like behind. The snapped feet/pins may have been touched up with a bit of white paint, I can’t see from those pics. No one has hand painted that 6 though unless Michelangelo has risen from the dead and decided to have a go building frightful frankenstein watches.

At first i thought it was a pretty cool custom job going online. Like an Etsy project.

Then i saw this line, and my stomach sank.
"It is a rare model that is a skeleton."

It is a rare model. I bet the only one like it in the history of the world.

The movement looks like a mousetrap.
