Hmm, has a nice datewindow. Band looks nice, is it a 3 piece or 5 piece? Any other pics, different angles (crown side maybe, dial)? The dial looks flat blue instead of waved, but that could be the pic as well.

More Pics

It set me back $90 for this and a decent YachtMaster. I must have looked at 1000 watches and picked this one and the Rollie. A good friend of mine has some good contacts there.

Is it me or does it look like the HEV is higher than normal? If so, nice find !

Nice looking piece. Looks aren't everything of course. Case is likely plated brass. Movement is cheap. Glass is probably cheap. These watches make excellent daily beaters though. They are also the type of watches that got me started in this crazy hobby!

Wear it well.

yes the HEV is higher and more "correct".

Second hand is a bit too short (as usual)
Pearl look nice
Bezel is aligned correctly
Crown is smaller than mine (more "correct")
Dial fonts are ok

The rest is too hard to see from the picture (don't use flash... ever !)

Nice find imo.. But like said, it's probably plated brass with cheap plastic crystal. IF the case is SS, then I would swap the movement/dial (the pattern is too flat) from an ETA one and keep the case of your find.

Seriously, it "look like" the old 2492 version.

For what I paid if it's not a rep it a great score. It sure is pretty though.

It has correct HEV placement. Congrats! You've got yourself a very very good rep.
