Hello Everyone, this is my first post.
I wanted to run a few photos by you all, first of all to see your thoughts on if this is a genuine watch (I think it is as I do have the paperwork and a previous service record from when the watch had 'stopped' and it went into PP Singapore to be repaired.) The watch was originally purchased and owned in Singapore and I have recently purchased it.
There are a few marks on the movement which I thought could have been part of the issue with the watch not working (maybe moisture or water ingress) and it needing a thorough service (about 800SIN) to sort it outand your thoughts would be appreciated.
Like I mentioned, I do have the Cert. of Origin, the box, service record etc. and without opening the watch the moment serial matches the documentation. The photos have been taken under a very high magnification and I suppose under this level almost anything is possible to see.
Thoughts please on the 'wear' and also I've taken some close-ups on the quality of the engraving etc. I do believe it is an original watch, I'm just trying to peice the parts together.
thanks again

ah so it looks genuine to you Chk ?
The service also stated that it needed a few knocks and scratches fixing - could these marks be caused by moisture ? ...
My initial reaction is that the parts were picked up by incorrect pliers
Rather than moisture. But then I am NOT a watchmaker, so what do I know
I am curious about something...
You say you recently purchased this watch, right? Why didn't you attempt to check authenticity prior to purchasing it? Seems to me that's the logical thing to do when buying a watch of this caliber...🤔
Could try with a PP SA
You could try with a PP SA if you have a relationship to share the SN to see if they match the same watch with the same dial ... That should give you a first impression. Then the ultimate check is to send the watch for a service ...
