    I have for sale this sweet little cushion-case Revue with a very interesting dappled-stone/granite-look dial, ref. S8323A. The 36mm (excl. crown) cushion case is in fine, possibly unpolished condition. Please see all of the photos, as they are an important part of the description. Revue signed crown.

    The movement is an ETA 2750 running well and keeping good time for a 49 yo watch with no known service history. PM me for questions, purchase, or request for additional photos.

    Thanks for looking at this unusual and affordable vintage Revue!

    The sale price includes continental US shipping and the smooth brown leather J P Leatherworks 18mm strap seen in the pic.

    Payment can be made by PayPal at my discretion. 3-day inspection allowed for established forum members..

    That ETA 2750 is something! A 50 hour power reserve? No wonder they sold 6 million of them in watches like the above Revue and in Enicar, Technos, Favre-Leuba, Certina, and others.

    Good luck!

    I know, right? Thank you for pointing that out :thumbsup:

    This one doesn't seem to have lost a tick, either, still going strong since a full wind early yesterday...

    That dial is incredible! Guessing patina or is it a factory design?

    When I bought it around 3 years ago, I thought it was patina, too, but upon closer inspection, I think this was a factory design. There's just not any appreciable patina anywhere else; although I've not seen another dial like this one...

    FWIW, the hand-wind ETA 2750 inside this baby finally stopped 53 hours from when I gave it a full-wind yesterday morning.

    This is the longest PR of any mechanical watch that I have witnessed!

    I do know that there are modern watches that do this and even longer, but this seems quite remarkable for a 49 y.o. watch...
