I only got two pictures of this watch and couldn't get the movement from a local auction site. Is it possible to tell if it is real and how much is the fair market price? Description: Wittnauer Chronograph with Valjoux 72 17j movement

It's real but the dial has been refinished in my opinion. Nice restoration however. |

Thank you for your quick reply. Do you think 1700 USD is a bit over? |

Actually I looked at some old archive photos of the times I have sold this watch, and the dial appears to be original. $1700 does seem a little on the high side, for the US market at least. |

Thank you for your comment Zaf. Downside is he didn't want to show picture of the movement, claiming he didn't know how to open it cuz he isn't a pro. You have a nice collection of watches. Cheers. |
