Thoughts on this one? It looks authentic to me, but with some minor hesitations: http://www.ebay.com/itm/182351846723

Hesitations:
-Comes from Portugal and I think there have been known fakes from that region
-Bridge is unsigned (although it looks like a genuine Venus column wheel)
-Not sure if the fancy "B" on the dial is correct for a mid-1940's model

Thanks, Fred. After I posted my hesitations today I found a past thread with a picture of your 781: viewtopic.php?f=11&t=59001

That made me feel better about the dial and hands on this one, so I bought it. The condition is fair, but it still felt like a good buy at $575.
