The central seconds hand is almost something, but almost what? All the thin red stick central seconds hands that I have seen belong to a Mark II or earlier watch, but I have not found one yet where the center circle is not also painted red? The white tachymetre scale, sans tachymetre word spelled out, suggests a Mark II or earlier watch. Parts of an earlier watch, possibly a Mark IIb: The back of the case indicates a Mark III Seapearl case back with the ?72/02/? The photos of the partial movement shot and inside back case shot, clearly indicate a typical Mark III date and movement coloration with mobile stud carrier in evidence. The thin stick subdial hands suggest a model that is at least a late Mark IIb, but is more typical of a Mark III. The central minutes and hours paddle hands are of the shorter Mark III variety and are orange-tipped as expected. The dial is clearly a Mark III dial as one can deduce from the size of the applied Saturn logo. This ad presents a good opportunity to discuss what may be - or may not be - an 'honest watch.' I have communicated several times with the owner of the watch and he has not been forthcoming with any part of the serial number which I have requested politely three times. No doubt the watch below is a beautiful watch, currently advertised at Chronocentric:Īt first glance, it looks like an 'in-between' model watch, not quite a Mark II and not quite a Mark III. Seems I have the honor of making the first post in this subforum!
