In my hunt for the really quirky (I sometimes find enjoyment in that) I stumbled across this weird thing:


No Subdials? But two pushers??
😕
Fired of a lowball offer, and behold this is what my mailman brought me!
35mm stainless steel case. Close to unworn condition.
As I had NO idea as to what movement to expect inside, I was pleasantly surprised to find the rarely seen ETA1168 when I popped the back.
Looking well, but in need of a new mainspring.
Now to how this thing works:

I think that is rather cool!

This arrived today from Norway...

And couldn't be happier😀.

This one's a keeper with a documented recent service.

A cal. 4-68 and a ~ 38mm case, love it!🥰

Gorgeous! Did it come with a Dibs list, or can I start a new one?

You have already dibsed this...back when I purchased it, before I received it.😀 In the unlikely event I ever decide to sell, you are on the list.👍

I think for watches like this, the rule should be you can only put in a DIBS if you have more that 1000 posts. 😁

I also think I'm too far down on the current list to even be in the running. 🙁

Also allows for easy sycronisation!
