    A very beautiful book. I didn't have more than 15 minutes to skim it. Very nice pictures and great story telling. image.jpeg

    A large (about 7"), vintage ceramic ashtray to use for coins and keys, made by the fine old French firm, Gien.

    Nope, but you deserve one hint for trying. The movement is a modified Valjoux 71.

    No, you'll never guess that one. A small Swiss retailer, and examples are rare from what I have been able to ascertain. The watch likely spent its whole life in Zurich before I absconded with it. ;)

    Seiko 6139 Pogue from March 1977 in pretty much original condition albeit the bracelet has been polished
    Had a run of Seiko chronographs recently which have spiked my interest and are reasonable money IMAG0899.jpg IMAG0900seiko .jpg but have a Leonidas 1950s SS Chrono on its way to me to break things up

    Arrived this morning - Very pleased

    This Mark III has some known, & acknowledged problems - A bloody good service required, being one of them !

    One issue, I have never encountered before is that, as one winds the crown to charge the movement, the date numerals, also spin synchronously, in tandem ?

    Suggestions to cause please ? - wrong / broken stem ?

    Case is in very good condition & original bracelet, chrono rests but not quite exactly - it will clean up nicely with TLC
