Here is a fine looking example with a bunch of photos for comparison of fonts, logos, engraving, stamping, coronets, hands, length of hands, positions of lug holes in relationship to the top bottom and center of the lugs, etc.

Do you notice any differences between yours and the one to which I posted a link as a reference?

Also ask yourself these questions: 1) Is the price too good to be true? 2) Does the seller have a good reputation? Always buy the seller first -- well what you're buying is the experiences others have had with that seller. It is so important to deal with a seller who has a proven track record of good customer interactions. I hope this is useful help.

For starters, the dial is a newer service variation. This alone would be enough for me to pass on the watch all together. Pushers and bezel are also likely later replacements. I would be very interested to see high resolution pictures of the engraving between the lugs as well as the movement and caseback.
