    @khmt2 thanks for the notice I was actually wondering if the center disc with 60 could simply indicate a longer power reserve, but based on your common reactions, it clearly is not and I will update the article accordingly

    Actually, the centre disc should just have a cross centre line with one indicator mark. It rotates independently from the surrounding ring that has the hour reserve indicators.

    It's just not a good idea to rave about something you're not familiar with, IMO.

    it's a good buy, at some price, for someone who has one with
    a bad dial and a bad GP case who wants a SS. Dial, movement,
    and case are gorgeous.

    Had thought about that one, but where in the world would I find the missing parts?

    Thanks!
    I watched this during the past weeks.
    Seller began with 1350 Euros. Just before the end, he cancelled the auction. Then started at 1 Euro. After 2 days, he cancelled the auction and deleted all offers. Now starting at that price...
    Good luck will be mandatory!

    In addition, the price seems to be ambitious.
    For me, a simple Conquest in awful condition would also do as I just need some indexes and the date window. My ugly dial can be repainted.
