路Dear all,
Up for sale today is something a bit unique - Charles Nicolet calendar with a two-tone copper dial. I have found this piece to be the very essence of vintage - not necessarily a famous brand, but a watch which possesses many of the attributes that make vintage so much fun. In my humble opinion, a lot of watch for the $.
Highlights:
- Unique two-tone copper dial
- Art deco numerals
- Red date pointer
- Serviced in 2018
Lowlights:
- The original hour and minute hands had turned black with age. My watchmaker found identical style hands and installed them during service
- Dial isn't perfect - slight oxidation on a couple hour markers, small scratches in the seconds sub-dial
More details:
Year: 1940s
Case: Original, 36mm, stainless steel
Dial: Original, two-tone
Hands: Replacements
Movement: Original, manual wind, keeps reasonable time
Bracelet: Ladder style, fits up to 7" in it's current state but I have two extra links I can send if needed
I鈥檓 asking $400 (originally $475) USD net to me which will also include 2 day insured shipping within CONUS. Other countries at cost. Watch and I are in the US and I can ship worldwide (with some exceptions). No returns please.
Plenty of references available upon request. Thanks!
Note: Movement picture taken prior to service.
