A question about my friend's Cortebert
A friend of mine (same friend who bought the vintage Omega) recently bought a Cortebert from eBay:
and he would like to ask whether his piece was originally a pocket watch modified into a wrist watch.
The reason for his suspicions is that the lugs look amateurishly welded on - the weld is not clean. However, he does note that the lugs have the same patina as the rest of the case.
Therefore, his question is actually in 2 parts:
a.) Were the lugs recently modified?
b.) Did Coretebert/Panerai have a history of welding their lugs together?
Some lug shots later.
Any help would be much appreciated.
Thanks,
psychotic

Cortebert and Panerai don't have ANY history, in common :-)
That is, other than the Rolex movementes (deriving from Cortebert, I believe) that were used in Panerai Vintage watches (pre 1993) :-) Ciao
Dial was modified to look like a Pan
Hey Sergio, He also found out from the shop that the dial was probably modified somewhere in the lifetime of the piece to look like a Pan… However, during Internet searches for information, he found references to Cortebert/Panerai/Rolex. Could you (or any...

I know absolutely nothing about them. The...only...thing I know (as I've mentioned) is that the first Panerais that were produced EVER, had a Rolex movement (of Cortebert derivation) inside. I know for a fact, though, that there has..never..been any assoc...
