My heart started to beat fast, very fast, till I got a deeper look on this watch.
Credit: Antiquorum.
It is, according to Antiquorum, a reference E 326.
First problem, the Quartermaster is not a E 326. The E 326 is a classic, lovely and dressy automatic watch, small seconds with some sensual lugs.
Second problem, the Quartermaster showed here doesn't have the lugs it must have. Here is a correct Quartermaster:
In black:
And in white.
The correct reference for the Quartermaster is 2405.
Third problem, look at how the crown is attached to the case on the correct... Different on the " weird "...
Even the font is different.
So, a " Quartermaster " to avoid...
Best,
Nicolas
