    Two bumpers in from abroad, nothing opulent - but each with a little something special.

    The first, from France, is a gold-plated Captain, plain enough - a little radium staining and text fade on the dial, but with a really perfect case and an introvabile 8-sided Captain crown.

    The second, from Australia, is a nameless model with an unusual steel case and a pretty guilloche dial, again with the introvabile crown.

    Two nice examples of Jobin's work - cal 133.8 & 71.

    Pretty finds for a pittance.

    That first example is crispy!

    Guilloche, yes. But how about the Z on that signed crown?--looks like it's straight out of a comic book. I love it and would have bought the watch for that one detail alone!

    Lou, next Halloween, we might have to get you in a costume ;)

    Still waiting for ADOS story and pictures...

    These are what the Italians might call gioiellini.
    Complimenti.
