It is hard to tell. I did more research on the las picture and found it was completly refinished. Who knows. I do know it was owned by a 1915 movie director and writer(name on the back). It was then purchased from a high end shop in newport 8 years ago by the owner my watch guy purchased it from. Pr

The dial is in very good condition. Almost to good. I am not an expert but the dial looks to be enamial. The patek lettering on the face also look to be have nice gloss like the rest of the watch/ I am assuming it is patek but I am concerned it is a a later replacement. I hope I am wrong.

The case is 26 mm x 43 mm. Is that the biggest case or can the be larger? Here is a picture of the case. I belief the case looks right but the dial is my concern. It the crown a replacement?

I noticed the same thing on the spacing but every watch from this era I could find online spaced the numbers the same way. The 4 offset from the 8 and also the 2 offset from the 10. Here are a more internal shots of the movement and case. i also have a picture of the Back of the dial. Let me know if

I just picked up Large 1917 Gondola and the dial seems to me in very good condition. How can you tell if the dial is refinished. I am in the process of ordering the Patek Archive. Will it tell on the Archive? What should I look for?
