Someone bought Frankenstein Siffert for $7K USD
In Response To: Siffert on eBay but dont think it is right? ()

: I saw this Siffert on eBay, but it just does not look right.

: Here are my thoughts:

: - The dial is a Mark 2 (which should have a Cal 11)

: - The movement picture shows a Cal 12 (which again should be a Cal
: 11)

: - The seller says the serial number is 203999, which based on the
: reference guide on OTD, is a Mark 4 (which would not be this
: dial, or a Cal 12 movement).

: Am I wrong on any of these accounts? This is a frankenstein, right?
: It is a beautiful condition dial though.

: Carlo
