The Basel is correct

dhknola · 29 May 2020, 02:46 AM

No clue on authenticity, but hope it's correct, bc it's awesome.

Ny325 · 29 May 2020, 03:28 AM

That’s a nice timepiece.

BigBlue1 · 29 May 2020, 06:21 AM

Reminds me of an old moon phase, the dial style, even though it isn’t.

zapokee · 29 May 2020, 07:17 AM

I've never seen one before. It's very detailed. This isn't the watch I'd choose to tackle if I were in the business of making fakes...

It has a 1950s vibe. Should the 6s/9s be open from this period? The number font on the outer date track is tickling my Spidey sense, but TBH I just don't know.

Can anyone make out the date stamp and model number in the caseback?

Kinda looks like 6569...

offrdmania · 29 May 2020, 08:19 AM

Thats a fantastic looking piece but ive never seen a model 6569 with a sub seconds that late into the 50s (1957) or an outer track date complication. I dont think its fake but it may very well be a pieced together watch. That dial looks amazing but IMO I think it has most definitely been restored.

6569 and 1957

Old Expat Beast · 29 May 2020, 08:38 AM

Yep, I know some models shared casebacks, but that doesn't look like a 1957 dial to me. .

Im not aware of sub seconds that late into the 50s

Old Expat Beast · 29 May 2020, 08:43 AM

or that date indicator.

The date indicator is very JLC. Hope it's real. That 9 hour marker is sublime.

offrdmania · 29 May 2020, 08:52 AM

The listing says the dial has been redone

The movement is a 1030 automatic which isnt a sub second movement

The watch would be an amazing novelty if everything worked on it.

watch-guy.com · 29 May 2020, 09:53 AM

I'm calling this a put together

Never seen such a model esp the combination of dial and date indicator -happy to be proven wrong

Better pics from the listing.

Yes, more clearly a redial based on those close-ups. The seller has declared this, though.

But still none of us has ever seen one, so...

I think the entire OP 6569 line has same caseback. The one in the picture may have never come with that watch.

Yeah, I just meant that the Air King 5500 used a 1002 caseback, stuff like that.

I think we agree thus far.

For the 1030 to be mated with an Analog Date complication using a center hand would seem to be a major piece of watchmaking.

Can the date train from an 1130 be lifted and integrated to a 1030 movement?

There was a guy that would convert your time only Patek, into a moonphase Patek.
I am guessing the same happened here.
