No guesses?
It's an early 60s version that Watch Bubba made to look like a mid 50s version. He painted the date numbers red (Should be black, the date wheels are not interchangeable), he removed the hack wire mechanism and closed up the hole for the hack wire below "24". What he could not do, was change the date window from trapezoidal to square. That's the giveaway. Thus ends today's lesson.
I wouldn't take a quartz watch if it was free. I gave all of mine away when I started collecting mechanical watches.
Nice 2nd pattern dial! If yours is previously unknown, I think that makes the total out there 8. I wish I could find an auction sale because I have no idea what these are worth. My father bought my example about 20 years ago in England. He had no idea of it significance when he bought, he just thought it was cool looking. He gave me most of his collection, since he only wears his Bretling.
