    That looks like a Ressence Type I. Awesome piece, unlike anything on the market.

    Having googled, that is awesome... I don't think I have enough organs to cover the purchase price though...

    Fished this one out of the bay today:
    Minerva Automatic +/-1960s?
    Minerva made some really nice watches back in the days. Mostly famous for their chronographs, the three handed watches are not bad offerings either, and they come at very reasonable prices.
    Minerva did not (to my knowledge) make any "in-house" automatics at the time, but the 25 jewels Felsa cal 4000n is in a nice execution (movement holder is included although not shown on the below pic).
    Just love the case design and generally clean layout. :whistling:
    Ended a bit above my "wish for price", but still within my max bid. Come to daddy! :D

    I really like the bevels / facets on that case. The entire watch is brilliantly executed.

    Is there anything special to the Martinator case? Not dogging it, just asking as it seems that some of the offerings from Case Club, Invicta and the like available on Amazon offer effectively the same protection. Maybe a different type of foam, extra plush less abrasive surface treatment, etc.?
    Either way looks incredibly snazzy and official.

    Planned for my broad arrow Speedy, although the bracelet is pretty comfortable and this may make its way onto my 1989, Apollo XI 20th anniversary Speedy instead.
