Hello,

The seller tells me it has only one owner. (Which is propably to good to be true)

Anyone with some comments. On one picture you see that there is a bit space between the dail and the sliderule. Is that just age, or a new sliderule?

Any other comments, more then welcome.


Best regards,
Ewoud

I'm not sure that sliderule is original. it might be, but the printing looks very dark.
The hands have been clearly re-lumed by an unsympathetic watchmaker.
Pusher caps aren't original.
and you've lost all the luminescent material from the dial of course.

That's all I can see.

hands repainted/relumed, watch is 1959 to 1962, sliderule printing is "soft", could be a (decent quality) replacement, dial is mediocre at best, pusher caps r4eplaced. not a stellar piece...
