It’s unfortunate how corrupt the vintage watch world is. I see the posts of RPM and I often wonder if the watches are cobbled together, refinished to make them look like extreme perfect pieces.

He posted a photo of a Tudor recently that was wild, a stunning 1959 7928. Almost too good to be true.

That one is an interesting one. Case is just about perfect and looks absolutely correct for 59. Particularly the crown guards. Have a very distinct shape on 59 only. Remember that thing I told you about the dials to not tell anyone else, I can see the same thing there which tells me the dial is legit and not relumed. I have not inspected the insert enough to tell if it is a correct long 5 red triangle or a regular long 5 where the triangle has been redded. Maybe I will do that one of these days.

Based on how great the case is, as well as something that was once pointed out to me by someone else, I suspect that one is not a MN watch which many of these are. A different fellow that I talk with a lot who was also on here, and a great fellow collector, has one of these in almost as nice condition but also not a MN.
