After some thought I’ve decided to place this watch back up for sale at a lower price. I’m happy to answer any and all questions. This one has an OF provenance so it would be great to keep it in the family. This is an exceptional watch. Nothing like it out there right now.

Circa 1950’s
Iconic In House Cal 215
Serviced a few years ago by my watchmaker, but sadly I lost the repair ticket.
All functions work well.
Beautiful Gilt dial that really POPS! in the sun. Original radium lume.
Unpolished Case 38mm
Box (no papers)
$3300 Delivered CONUS Parcel Pro Insured (head only)
Int’l Shipping via Insured Parcel Pro/Fedex will be based on actual costs. I will not play games with customs valuation.
No returns unless I have not represented the watch accurately.
Wire Transfer, PP F&F equivalent is the required method of payment.
I’m not a frequent seller. I have one I think, but more buyer references.


A few more of the dial:

Bumping ….Two days to go… To answer a question, the lume appers to contain radium. It triggers the Geiger from ambient (within still safe range) and looks like this under BL. Stops glowing when black light is switched off.

Thanks for the views and interest. One thing I’ve learned is I need to do more research on international sales. Easier to be a buyer than a seller. The other thing I’ve learned Is that this is indeed a great watch and I want to keep it.

Love it! Would have been all over it if it weren’t for the custom issue to the UE…:/

Sadly it’s easier to import to the USA than to export. Fibbing on customs documents …not wise.
