MA123 85 Posted April 7, 2021 Looks suspicious to say the least.... lowest price on ebay Seller from hungary Possible tells:- Sunken date wheel? Thickness? Blue screws in movement? Calf reference on strap not croco (Cuir)? Thoughts...!!?? https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/124595182578 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Glaude 1,615 Posted April 7, 2021 That date look pretty damn recessed to me ... Blued screw indeed, shouldn't be there Seems to be the wrong shock spring on the balance wheel, wrong regulator arms, etc... Cuts outs and other custom job done by Bretling on the movement seems off too, gen movement : Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tribefan 6,768 Posted April 7, 2021 Movement does not look right to me. Adjustment levers are off, where's the train bridge jewels? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bbsee 469 Posted April 7, 2021 (edited) I've had a rep of one of these and to me, it does indeed look like the date-wheel might be too sunken. Without analyzing closely, the movement at the back looks the same from memory too, but hey ho, I could be wrong and this is somewhat of a cracking deal...
