with no disrespect to the OP, they're pristine in large part because, with the possible exception of the steel Roman numeral example, they aren't original. Regards, Tony C.
As I stated at the beginning of the the photo sharing, these came froma disc given me by a watch collector, back in 2002. I don't know any history other than that. Cazalea
I was simply stating facts, and there shouldn't be anything controversial about facts. Any collector with experience with 30T2Rg Chronometres can easily tell that those are either refinished or later replacement dials. Regards, Tony C.
. . . is the steel ref 2366 . . . . . . fitted with a Causmann dial from the '90s and a replacement crown. No movement image provided, but it should have a 30T2rg inside. This one is the homage produced in the mid-'90s in yellow gold . . . . . . and white...
That's the association I'm having here, anyway. I've always assumed the dials on my "twins" are not original. They're below, with display backs that I had Wuischpard make many years ago -- of course, I still have the original casebacks that are stamped 23...
