    Whole chunks of my life come under the heading "it seemed like a good idea at the time".

    It's amazing that I went for authenticity with the "Italian" and the only thing some people had to say is, "the hands look too blue". :lol:

    I'm not sure that this piece is 100% authentic. I'm certain that the 'engraving' on the caseback was made using a modern electric engraver. I feel, as does Eddie, that the buing is to bright - it looks like chemical blueing rather than traditional blueing.

    It sold for Eu31,000 :shock:

    No it's the real deal, a slight twist of the watch and the hands look almost black, not sure about the engraving, but the watch
    is the dogs !!!
    Have seen the watch since it was bought on a German forum, with more scans from the new owner, nice.
