Whole watch is questionable: - redial (just dots should be luminous, second tracking etc.) - wrong hands - wrong crown - wrong movement, should be 479, this one has chamfered platines! The enravings look faked, the case serial and number following the F should be stamped... | ||

I had never heard of KNIL before you mentioned them recently, but as i said, this felt iffy for all the reasons you said so I didnt bid. Can you guide me to a pic of genuine one ? Do they have a broadarrow - ie are they WWWs reissued and hence KNIL added ? Cheers | ||

All the engravings look fake. Looks like a bastardized aussie watch that's been dressed up to look like a KNIL. The KNIL engravings are done my hand in a crude way. I have photos, will post as soon as I can. | ||

Looks real, except the crown which is a replacement. Nice find. | ||
