In honour of Privateday's Centenary, here is yet another table update with his watch included -



Makes you wonder where the other 3,967 are, doesn't it?

 

Some are in hiding in NJ, others are mushrooms (kept in the dark) in Europe and Australia.

 

Me?

Noooo! I have only 4 hidden in the dark... will have to visit the bank for the numbers

 

Hmmm - so between Erich and Mike that's just another nine - no wonder there aren't any left for the rest of us

Only, the man says, only . . . If we just had those nine sets of numbers, we would be up to 1% of the total production for our table

C'mon, fellers, don't be shy, you can PM me with the details if you like . . .

 

Received this today. But you already have the details in your table.

 

Nice one, Gavin. I hope you are really pleased with your Centenary!

 

Complete with box & paper . Is it YG or RG?

 

Definitely John, as it completes a sub theme with this 343 bumper.

YG. Just tarnished. Unfortunately not the silver box. But I am still happy.

 

You can always buy the silver box later, but the correct paper is impossible to obtain.

 

A big +1 on that. I'd take the correct paperwork over the box any day.

 

The silver box is on eBay at the moment -

From a well-known seller, I believe. Edit - Funnily enough, I'd rather have the very early wood and red leather box that Desmond illustrates on p9 of the Centenary pdf. But I have never seen one for sale.

 

….. and member here.

 

Hi John, I recently was most fortunate to pick up a superb Centenary. The movement# is 10680905 and the case# is 10720875. The caseback has the case# but does NOT have 2500 on the back. The movement has 30.10 Jub.



Wonderful job on the list. Thank you for your investment with the Centenary’s. Will keep our eyes and ears open to help you find a nice one.

 

That’s creepy! I was the one who purchased the case from Dennis, and two months later someone sent me an email asking, “Would you be interested in purchasing a minty Centenary?" Now it is in it’s lovely bed!

 

Look like I know what I need to do!
