Bought at auction for 762 usd. Was not expecting a triple signed piece but was not expecting a complete Frankenstein either. I am a new born to vintage especially bretlings however i could make out that the case is original and so is the dial on the other hand to my suprise when i opened up the case back :cry: :cry: anyways it is what it is

Crystal needs a change desperately , apart from that aesthetically its near mint and its keeping better time than most. But yea whats is this watch!

The dial is very very much NOT original. Nor are the hands. So Franken, sadly.

Personally the hands looked too short to me but I think if this dial is kosher (and if Fred says it is, it is) my guess is the hands are fine. So seems watch is perfectly correct. Apologies for my mis-informed earlier message (I’ve seen a few of these dials but always assumed they were Argentina fakes).
