    This guy just sold for CHF $2660. Made from parts, case is a Girrard Perreaux, Valjoux 72, and dial and hands from the parts bin! Dial may have been refinished long ago? Subdials don't have smooth edges. Comments??

    he was honest so I don't have a problem with the seller.... but the problem now is that the damn thing is out there. Sooner or later it ends up back on the market as "genuine, untouched, rare, original" and some poor soul pays over the top for junk!

    reason number 362 why I don't buy watches on line.

    I'm surprised it didn't sell for more. the v72 movement alone is probably worth $1200 - 1500
