    Busy trying to sort out my collection, details,approx values etc.etc.but this one has me stumped as to value.
    A gift from original owner so no idea as to original cost, issued by CSI - Civil Service India. All in great condition.
    Ideas, guesses all welcome.

    Wait a sec - a Favre Leuba from India that isn't a whacky color dial? No way!

    If it doesn't have a Zenith cal 135 inside and it's not a Bivouac or Deep Blue diver, I fear the market forces will be against you.

    A standard colour, an exception ro the rule :)
    From around 1939 with no real fancy motor, just rarity value.
    Searched around all the usual places but not much evidence of them turning up for sale.
    Of an age now when I reckon I should keep things up to date just in case my good lady is left to sell things off :(

    A couple of quick shots for any with an interest. Not a full screw case back, quarter turn only, actually all a lot cleaner than the photos give credit -
