Where are the photos? If it's a WWW you are referring to, it doesn't sound correct what you are describing.

Hi, it's the electroplated top version, so worth less than solid metals, I'd estimate it around $1500-2000 in a sale to a collector assuming good condition and only minor wear through on the plating.

I my opinion it's all real.

and here is the catalog shot.

Mine is in a safe deposit box, I don't go it to often. I have a photo, one crown signed one not, I believe the lower one is correct.

The refinished dial really hurts it, and it's gold filled. Hard to value watches with refinished dials, but given it's complete, maybe around $600. This is a guess as once a dial is refinished, prices are all over the map.

I am not convinced that is real, need movement and inside of the case backs to confirm.

I haven't seen this exact model before, but my gut feeling is that it is real. Do you have a picture of the case back insides?

Exactly.

It looks like the original crowns are not signed, judging from an old catalog shot.
