Hi, Can I know what your Weems marking looks like? Many thanks! Hans

She has the classical markings.. Pic enclosed.. HAGWE !

.. The watch is depicted in Zaf Basha's JLC Guide Book, on pg 89 , together with some explanations in the chapter, which I assume, you may know. Here is the caseback: - Ser no is a 4 digit no ( 2 numbers erased for privacy), 40 depicts the year - above th...  

Don't quite know, what you mean.. The markings are exactly, as in Zaf's book..???

.. and as I wrote above, just above Mark VIIA etc., there are: " A" the crown then "M", but they are difficult to read & faded Could you pls explain, what else I should expect ? Best, hs PS: unfortunately, ImageShack ( as reported) does not display any mo... 

Is the complete marking like that?

I don't see it on your picture, but my eyes are tired... ...  

Yes, exactly !!.. Just, that "A- Crown - M" are pretty faded but there

 
 By: hs111 : October 30th, 2014-23:43
It's true , on yours the top line with the crown etc is engraved stronger, other than that, it is identical ! Right now, she is with my watchmaker for a service Thanks anyway, but we can have a look at her, when I bring it, for the Double shot. Best, hs

Found a better case-back pic.. Where top engravings are seen better.. :)

.. but still a little more faded then the next 3 lines.. Better readability.. But a bit faded .. IMHO, all looks good ! But thx again, for the advice & kind confirmations ! Best, also for the upcoming WE ! Best, hs ...  

Great Trio. I have to congratulate you for the JLC WWW Wristshot. Very sensual.

Yes, you are right, this " P " dizl is much less neat, but it is a rare beast. As for your white dialed one, I will have to post some pics... Best, my dear friend. Nicolas

Thx kindly, also for your encouragement !.. Yes, as per the white dialled Mark VIIWeems

 
 By: hs111 : October 30th, 2014-09:22
.. she just has needed a service, but that dial is practically NOS ( interestingly you can find that very watch in Zaf's Book, pg 89, ( also including the - which is nice, overall ) I was already thinking of a Double shot of the 2 Weems, once we'll meet ... 

That's a long one, between yours and mine...
