    Howdy friends! As posted in WRUW, ebay find 1970s Austin Premier Automatic, Swiss Made, tritium hands, for the grand sum of $24.50. Any idea on the type of movement? ETA? AS? It doesn’t appear it has ever been touched internally to me.

    This one will get a service, new crystal, and a new bracelet if Uncle has one that will fit. Lug width is a bit perplexing. Stated as 18mm in ad. It appears to be 20mm, but my 20mm strap is a tad too big. Probably will get a 19mm.

    Looks very much to be ETA based - there should be a number under the balance.
