ref 140-39-05 -- how original?

[Brad_L]

I would be grateful for any thoughts on the originality of this watch? At first I thought the hands were not original but I have seen similar on other Enicar references.
Thanks!
Brad

If you google the model number a variety of dial and hand types come up. Not like that though. I get a bad feeling looking at your dial. It looks too clean and the design just looks off to me for an Enicar. I could be wrong though.

Thanks for reaching out. Yes, I had the same issue with the dial at first. But I looked through "Time for a Change" and found a Sherpa reference with exactly the same dial (except that it said "Sherpa" instead of "STAR JEWELS" so I think it is an Enicar dial (or at least an Enicar design). But the dial does look a bit too clean for its age. The Seller swears it has not been refinished. I went ahead and purchased it on C24 and will take a closer look when it arrives.
