    Hello,

    Here is a watch I thought I would never sell. But I have found another one and I have to found other projects (including watches I have already bought!).

    This watch is pretty rare. It is a 18k French cased watch with a caliber 284, with the original strap (in pretty good condition) and the original 18K gold buckle. The buckle itself is very rare. It is a 18k solid gold made by the same maker that the case, PGF. When you find one on eBay - which happens maybe twice a year - it ends at about 250 euros. I was very happy to find this watch and, although I would really like to keep the band and the buckle, cannot split the lot - it would be some kind of watch crime!

    The diameter is a little bit more than 34,5 mm, not including the crown and the lugs
    Everything in this watch is genuine and, as far as I can tell, is original. The dial is in an overall good condition, but has unfortunately a spot at 4 (please look carrefully at the pics, in partcular the ones with the bezel off). The hands are in a very good condition.

    The case is of very good quality. It shows normal wear. It has the regular eagle heads (on the back and on the case itself), the French hallmark for 18K gold.

    The movement is in a very good condition. I serviced it a few months ago and it keeps incredible time. Actually, as far as accuracy is concerned, it is the best cal. 30 that I have ever owned! The delta over 6 position was of 10 seconds at full wind after the service and is about the same now. It means that the daily variations is as low as about a couple of secs a day. The amplitude is excellent as well. I talked about this watch and the service here:

    For this rare lot (watch, band and buckle), I ask 850 euros net to me. Paypal is OK for regular OF members (please add 4%). I can ship worldwhile.

    As usual, my pics are not the best... I can provide more upon request.

    Thanks for watching and thanks OF for the place!
