Да, и там тоже прокомментировали, что отделка вашего механизма отличается от таковой на часах из 1914 года.
The Rebberg in it is a different damascene than the one in the book.
И сомневались в мосте баланса (что он имеет иную отделку, нежели остальные мосты):
However looking I think I will retract my comment on the balance cock (bridge) they did use the scrolling on movements with more plain finish on the other plates.
Вы им тоже напишите про говнюков, про их древоподобность и т.д.
Могу помочь с переводом, ибо английский у вас не ахти.
И посмотрим, что вам ответят и не забанят ли.
Ну а то как-то тут вы герой, петухом хорохоритесь, а там что-то скромненько, скромненько.
Ну что, Вам не аргументированно ответили на профильном форуме?
Извинения принимаю, я не злопамятный

There is almost no, well - just no, doubts that the dial is legit.
The main issues that did rise at the thread at the Russian forum regarding this watch were:
1. Rebberg was producing penty of 13 ligne type movements that were used in plenty of watch brands. So it's not a problem to fit Rolex dial on any Rebberg. As you can see at the book the Rolex's rebbergs shows perlage finishing on all bridges (except balance, ofcourse). Here you can see only cotes de Geneve on the central bridge only.
2. The case number figures are not in line with each other - what is not seen on Rolex's cases.
It would be a WHOLE LOT more likely to find a Rebberg MOVEMENT than a loose porcelain 13 ligne Rolex Dial.
Sure it might on the slight off chance not be legit...but really would it be worth it? It's not a Paul Newman.
Most Rebberg's...(search ebay) Aren't running ESPECIALLY 13 ligne. Mostly they are miserable movements and even with the best workers...they don't run worth a crap when they're fixed.
The case....while Rolex contracted everything....it's kind of identical to the ones they were using...
The dial...well...let's put someone on the case and see HOW LONG it takes them to come up with another for sale loose.....13 ligne Porcelain....Rolex signed dial IN the glazing...out of a watch....
My history says there is ONE of everything for sale at any given time SOMEWHERE...but you're not going down to your local Wal-Mart to pick out your choice there.
If you anyone can find one of those...I'm happy that true magicians exist...now please find the chronograph parts for my Centregraphe
What they're saying about about the Perlage finishing isn't exactly true...they used all different grades of Rebberg's in various Rolex watches. Sure anything could be cobbled but I have a 10.5 ligne Rebberg that is family heirloom here that has NO damascene and Rolex is engraved on the plates.
To find Rolex engraved wheels to put on a generic Rebberg movement...what is the point? I mean you'd have to have a Rolex/Rebberg to steal the wheels...why not just build that one? Doesn't make sense.
The cotes de Geneve are also on the barrel bridge not just the train bridge.
The striped movements are seen in those watches from time to time. Yes I will agree mostly we see the perlage damascene but I wouldn't write that one off because it has stripes.
As for the case numbers...you can see even in Dowling's book on page 26 of the 3rd edition a sterling case with numbers not perfectly in line.
The watch doesn't smell bad to me. But I defer.
