Despite the issues a bargain in hindsight?

Market is 20k without BP for a nice one I guess

 

A vintage one with box and papers? those are 1920-early 1930 watches.
Are you sure it wasn't the Heritage version ? (which does look quite beautiful).

 

Love to see that.

 

Me too. Pics or it isn't true

 

The pictures are readily available through the link in the original post, and the watch does appear original.

 

The pics we are referring to are from a NOS one (and not the Ebay one )

 

One from 1937 recently sold for 45k at Phillips HK auction. A NOS with box and papers, well, I'd certainly like to see one....

The ebay example was missing the outer caseback, had an iffy dial and worn onion crown.
Still, it'll make for a nice wearer.

These are big and beautiful watches.

Hadn't remembered the one from a year earlier. Perhaps the one belonging to Ash's friend.

Ah, I see. Thanks.

These have beautiful, high-class movements, and they were only used in the Lindbergh, the exclusive and very low production SWISSAIR Pilot's watches, and a small number of pocket watches. Not at all easy to find in any iteration.

 

Also the Weems Second Setting. Cal 18.69N and, like the ebay example, Cal 37.9

 

Yes, what I should have said, more specifically, is that the final iteration, the cal. 37.9S (replacing the 37.9N), was used in only one Weems reference, the SWISSAIR special run, and a few pocket watches.

 

Eek
(not much value to add, sorry)
Interesting to see both Philips auctions had realistic estimates.
