    Still curious what movement (22 Jewels?) is inside that watch. Also you should clearify if this is a Vintage NOS or a New watch.
    Thanks!

    I have been told it has a Venus cal. But I do not have the tools to open it.

    Like you most likely read already elsewhere, there are different opinions about the Jacques Monnat watches being NOS or new.

    That is why i'm not listing this watch as NOS or as new because no one seems to know for certain.

    Venus, or based on a Venus? 22 Jewels leads me to a Chinese Seagul movement, which is based on the Venus 175. Venus movements had 17 Jewels as far as I know.

    Anyway, thanks for clarifying and good luck with sale!

    I do. One dealer found a stockpile of them NOS and sold them very cheap to other dealers and flooded the market with them unfortunately causing them to go cheap, instead he should have slow played and sold them off what comparable watches go for 1 by 1.
