The guilloché one is singing to me... and killing me softly with its song...


I'm taking excellent care of it!😉

What`s about this one? 28528



Nice, but I would prefer a gold/capped case.

But the movement has the wrong rotor - or is perhaps completely the wrong movement?

P.S. And the rear medallion looks a bit iffy, too . . .
This has been on eBay for ages. Bezel polished within an inch of it's life. I reckon there's something iffy about it...😒

Edit: these are usually bumpers John.

If it were perfect it would be selling for $1400 or better because of the black dial.

I know it's supposed to be a bumper, I've got one. But the 354 rotor should say "Adjusted five (5) positions and temperatures " on a Connie.

Just noticed that, must of been replaced. Would keep away.

It's possible to replace the rotor to make it correct. There's also an outside chance that it either came that way or was repaired once using a mismarked rotor. One or two of our members have had rotors without the adjusted markings on chronometers and had the correct rotor installed.

According to me, the going rate for a rotor swap like that is $20. 😜 (without labor costs from your watchmaker)

Hey, you guys forgot the original buckle, it's a bonus right there. 😁

Is it just my eyes or does the rotor have wear on it as well?
