Yes it is genuine, if you could provide the movement serial # I can date it but it appears to be late 1950s. | ||

Hi again - okay i can now see the movement number on the back and it looks like: 873294 but the first digit is partially hidden by a tiny screw so it could be 373294. any thoughts on the date please ? | ||

It's probably and 8, which would date it to approximately 1952. The movement serial is usually higher that that of the case. | ||

out of interest - does anyone know where to buy a replacement ostrich strap & deployment clasp that is sensibly priced ? | ||

That, I don't know sorry. I only deal with wholesalers myself as I buy straps in volume. | ||
