Hi, I acquired the attached watch at a recent auction for 1250 euros. It is 37mm in diameter and according to the auction catalog it is from 1940s with a 450/4C movement. Two questions on my side:
1) is the seconds hand original. I have not seen similar hands in Zaf's book
2) is the dial in reasonably good shape and does it look like the real thing?

Thanks in advance for your help.

Hi, the seconds hand is a replacement for sure, and the dial looks like it has been refinished at some point.
