To all the bubbleback experts out there: What is your opinion on this watch? Everything correct or do you have any doubts? Re-dial?
Can you recommend a trusted source of information regarding bubblebacks?
I very much appreciate your help.

The real experts will come along but to me the dial looks refinished once upon a time. The hands look a bit odd to me

I think the hands are a later addition.

I think this is original. It is later BB and the dial looks OK and original-
Hands may be original

Crown is Super Oyster which is correct

The rotor mechanism didn't come on that base movement. That is a rare factory GOLD PLATED 645 rotor mechanism with 7 jewels instead of the traditional 2 or 2 hardened steel bushings. The movement should ALSO be gold plated if it came with that rotor and it's clearly not. That doesn't really affect anything....it just means your rotor won't wear out. The rotor weight should also be gold plated if it were all born together. The dial I think is refinished. The hands are fine the could have come with that dial.
