Guys,Seen this at my local and they are listing it for a pretty low price.Dial seems intact - hands have been replaced I think.Tried looking up the added value of the Meister German seller on the dial but could not seem to find much.Also - on the case back on the inside I see a 105 012 66 as well as a 145 012 SP marking...Thanks anything helps.
