: Thanks for the info-

Hey I saw your post and figured I'd add some info. I was interested in the watch until recently although I may still bid.

I contacted the seller and informed me that it was restored. Based on the serial, it is actually a semi early but not super early model. The hands are original to the watch but neither the dial nor the crown are. Both are apparently "new old stock" they said but its clearly from a 2nd execution as was stated above. The crown was also replaced during the "restoration".
