Hello All,

I've come across a DRSD that I'm keen to purchase. Looking at the pictures, it seems to be authentic but I have some doubts about the inner case back print.

Would appreciate some expert views.

Thanks in advance

a couple of decent back pictures ( much bigger and with an higher definition ) would be necessary ....

Thanks Marcello. Unfortunately these are the only photos I have.

Further update. Watch is offered for sale in Italy on chrono24.

Additional 2 photos were sent to me. The shop informed me that the watch was originally from USA and after my query why the papers were not in English, reply was a very short; watch sold. The listing was removed from Chrono24 upon me checking.

I guess I was fortunate to have avoided a possible disaster. Just a friendly warning to fellow members; buyers be careful.

You should find a dealer that specializes in vintage watches and contact him to source you the watch. There are several on this site alone. This is what they get paid a premium to do and their knowledge is invaluable. If you would have bought this watch you would have lost far more than if you overpaid a dealer by $1000 for his resources and experience. Just my 2 cents..

The Garantie paper is not even the correct document. It should be a combination Garantie/chronometer paper.

Springer: You see Sh-t I dont even notice and then I look and I say Dang, he's right! It should be a long form chrono cert. Good eye
