This one is going to hurt on the long term, as I absolutely love the watch. But decided to thin the herd and only focusing on a few (more expensive) pieces, so this one has to go as well. More will follow... Eberhard et Co Magie Noire ref. 34006 - cca. 1989 manual wind Lemania 873 movement (signed Eberhard on the bridge). An absolute stunning piece, 40mm diameter, with a gorgeous dial and contrasting hands. One of the few gold plated cases that I enjoy. Description (please refer to pictures - magnify them by clicking - and ask for additional details): Case: Stepped case, gold plated, 40mm in diameter. Has dents and scratches, gold plating is generally in good condition with minimum exfoliation (please refer to pictures, I haven't found any significant damage but if you spot some please ask further and I'll take a macro shot under good lightning). Crown and pushers: Signed crown, gold plated pushers with small dings and exfoliation (some to the crown as well). Caseback: Pressed, with serial dimmed but present, with scratches and dings (some scratches are deeper, probably from failed attempts to open the case). Dial: Absolutely stunning dial, deep black (hence the name) with tachymeter, telemeter and pulsations scales in alternating creamy white / golden inks. Applied golden numerals. Flawless from what I can tell, but again please refer to the pictures as perhaps I've missed something. Subdials have concentric rings within, difficult to see in pictures but a nice detail to mention. Hands: Golden, with some flaking, scratches. Small seconds hand has a bit of oxidation signs at the center, visible under 4x magnification. You can check the pictures, if you click on them a few times full resolution will tell a good story. Glass: acrylic, original to the watch to my knowledge, with numerous small scratches. I've got some polywatch left and can attempt cleaning them up but I am a firm believer in maintaining my pieces as original as possible. Movement: Lemania 873 with signed bridge (Eberhard et Co). Chronograph resets properly. Keeps time but haven't timed it and don't expect it to run within any Chronometer parameters, as service history is unknown (verbally, the previous owner stated it's been serviced 3-4 years back). In my possession for over one year and hasn't shown any odd behavior. Leaving the servicing decision up to the next owner. Other stuff: Generic distressed-looking leather strap (shown in the last pictures) with generic gold-colored buckle. No box or papers (the watch was most likely produced somewhere in 1990, according to Eberhard). Miscellaneous Price: REDUCED EUR 1300 net to me. Paypal only available to established members with relevant positive feedback. SWIFT bank transactions or other methods that do not incur taxes on my end are possible, 3% discount. Shipping not included, will be either by TNT at EUR 100 worldwide (compulsory for overseas or when normal PayPal is used) or by DPD (EU-only, 30-40 EUR depending on location). I am not keen on selling the watch at this point, so not in a hurry to sell. ----------------------------------------- Item is located in Craiova, Romania, within the EU.
