Looks pristine and a non alarm at a glance....making it potentially a great buy for a top end no expense spared build.

But look close and there are a few hints. The housing isn’t made for the securing screws on the plate...it’s an alarm style housing.
Beautiful.



But look close and you see the main plate has the hole for the alarm trigger.



Another hint. The dial is set up for the alarm pointer and has a bigger hole.



Another clue... alarm holes patched.

So a deliberate cover up to get a higher value on the movement?

I honestly don’t know. It’s a brief description and I don’t see any claims of what it is or isn’t.

Check it out. I have no affiliation with the seller.

Well, this guy is a pro. If you look up his feedback, he sold an SF240 just half a year ago and his other sales are all about watches of various kind.
Indeed, he is not claiming something, but a full disclosure would be appropriate IMHO.
And while his ebay-rating is immaculate, 5 different user names in the last 20 years are puzzling me...
