I agree with Justin; the dial is an abomination. IMHO you’d be better off saving your money and putting it to a genuinely kosher piece, which members of this forum I am sure would help you source.

: The dial is a horrible redial.
: The caseback should have G Monnin on the inside.
: The bezel is a later tramline version.

: Other than that it looks like it could be original though the above
: items comprise a very large portion of the watch’s value.... I
: can acquire the rest of the parts over the course of an hour,
: those are the easy parts to find.

: The parts mentioned above will take a very expensive parts watch or
: a couple years to accumulate the correct parts.

: Thanks,
