Probably a franken/fake and over polished but what reference is this please? Caught my eye in the window as I walked past as it had very shiny gold indices and an almost porcelain effect dial. Looked a little too shiny on the dial/hands vs a soft case (?) which maybe shows its a franken and I am guessing it's a waste of time going back to have a look tomorrow?

Appreciate one picture is poor form here but I'm not asking for authentication... Just opinions.

Fyi the asking price was £2,700.

Dials refinished. Hands not original to watch. Badly polished and overpriced.

Suspected as much. Guess I was hoping it was some unusual dial variant but I thought it looked too clean and shiny in the dial/hands department vs soft case lines.

Appreciate the input. Won't waste my time going back to look :)

Haha. Guess you're right. Probably not the best place to source. Somewhere ahead of an estate sale or my grandfather's drawer, but not great. :)

Thanks all
