    === DONGFENG ?===

    Hi all just wanted to share my new purchase with you. Also I'm hoping that some of you experts (Martin, Odark30, and Ric c, Hked) can tell me what I have here . I know it’s a Dongfeng 19 jewel from the 60’s 70’s? And it is keeping very good time. With some info I have found it seems ok but I am not sure about the second hand .It has obviously had a clean-up(not me)and I am a bit suspicious of the marks on the dial centre , at first I thought were ageing marks but now I think are where a hand removal tool has been? I cannot show a movement pic only the seller’s one as I have not got the correct tool (yet). Overall I am very pleased it looks good and works ok, I’ll probably change the strap. Please don’t worry about offending me if it’s a dog I'm very thick skinned, and did not pay a lot for it. Thanks for looking, DW. And now for some pic’s...

    Looks good!
    Caseback and movement are correct, and the dial also looks good to me.
    Nice catch!
