Authentic original hands?
Hi, I am completely new here, and I do not even know if this is technically allowed. I am looking for a watch for my father, and the gist of it is that I want to give him one from my mothers birth year. My dads a simple man, and the oyster perpetual seems fit.
I found this on a Japanese website. The description says that it was manufactured in the 1967 with the 1570 movement. I have looked up the original dial of the reference 1002, and I have found some different variants. The description goes as far as claiming that all the dial and the tritium hands are in original states. Could any of you be so nice and confirm this? The T-SWISS MADE-T is what concerns me. Of all the 1002s ive looked at online, almost all say T-SWISS-T. Maybe I’m being too cautious... I found myself in the world of watches quite recently, and I have been fascinated at to looking at watches online everyday when I have spare time. And please let me know what you think! Nice to meet you all! |

I would suspect the dial was changed at some point in time.

I'd look for a better example. Like springer said, dial is not original to the watch, very likely hands are not original neither and the case is badly reshaped. The lugs may look thick and even, but if you look the length of the lugs and how close the lug holes are to the edges, you can tell the lugs are basically re-cut. I think you can find a better and/or honest example if you look around. My $0.02.

Thank you so much both of you.
I am really new to the vintage section, so without your help I would have ignorantly purchased this. I will dig more for others! Cheers |
