    Here we have a 38mm Compur ref 22426, awesome faceted lugs, almost unpolished. The watch is almost perfect. I will just ask my watchmaker to clean the dirt around subdials.

    Hope you guys enjoy the photos :thumbsup:

    Ebay, where else?

    Well bought, Florent, my rival in back-channel bidding! Quite an unusual reference. You are obviously "the Frenchman" that the owner of the watch mentioned. I was half-sure you didn't exist and I was being played!

    Fun fact that the seller mentioned me. ;) Yes I'm this person !
    I have the regret (pleasure?) to inform you that my account was restricted after this, for one week, due to transactions performed outside eBay ::facepalm2::
    The next one(s) is (are) for you ! :cool:

    You really deserve it. Shameful behavior. :whipped:I wish I had increased my bid!

    Only for the next week, I expect :rolleyes:

    Congrats on the watch, sorry to hear about the account paralysis. Never heard about such a thing before, has anyone else seen it happened?

    It happened to me because those days I sent too much messages with eBay, asking the seller if he will accept a direct offer by bank wire. ::facepalm2::

    The first listing price was 2k€ on eBay. Of course the final price is not that low ::shy::

    What a beautiful piece, love the pencil thin numbers & the patination on the dial is lovely...........

    For me you just cant beat the symmetry on these two register chronos..............

    Enjoy it!

    Congratulations.
    Beautiful, classy, Patek like simplicity. Well done, my sympathy for the under bidders.
