Can somebody shed some light over this? unkown provenance UN Michelangelo.

Greetings,
Hope all are safe and well.

Any input is welcome.

It's missing the blue jewel from the crown. The crown itself is stuck. The dial looks like it's out of some of the pins, slightly shifted by a fraction of a degree. Lume looks good. Strap is generic fake leather.

Will open it soon enough when I have the tools.

Any ideas which factories produced the Michelangelo?

Thanks.

For future reference, could you kindly not post identical threads in different sections - just the one will do it. Good luck.

Phew that watch has had a beating. Sorry I don't recognise the rep. Will be interesting to see a movement pic. I recommend you use "click pix" - the image host built into the forum here

My bad, will do. Realized this myself, but deleting a post does not seem to be an option for an user, yet most of the sections seemed appropriate.

I'm guessing it's just an old, generic fake watch - no factory. Before those times when Rep factories cultured reputations.

Agreed, most probably so. Should save the embarrassment of having an authorized smith look at it, although I've seen imitations of the 2892-a2, and this does look much better.
