After several years of hunting down a Marvin Flying Dutchman, in 2020 I ended up with two. Now as a I trim down and refocus my collection to be more about the watches I wear rather than the ones that live in boxes, I have decided to let them both go. The first can be found here. This is the second - a Marvin Flying Dutchman Automatic, with the in-house 580 calibre. This one has a C stamp on the rotor, which I understand means Calendar. It is a 25 jewel movement. The case is full stainless steel. Approximately 33mm (without the crown) by 42mm, with 18mm lugs. It has the original signed Marvin Crown It has the original Marvin crystal with date magnifier. As can be seen in the photos, there is some patina on the dial, a mark just above Marvin, and radium burn at the tips of some of the hour markers (the 8 being the most obvious. The case is nice and sharp, but shows clear signs of use over the last 60+ years (see pictures). Service history is unknown - I bought this from an Israeli dealer and it showed up covered in wrist cheese... so let's assume it's not seen a watchmaker in recent history - but it is running and keeping team fairly well. I would recommend a service if you plan to wear it and arrive at things on time. Asking £350 plus postage - which takes into account the condition (which is better/more complete than the other one) and that these are now relatively hard to find. Watch is located in London, UK. Please ask if you have any questions.
Now listed up on eBay - for considerably less than either of the rough, gold capped ones currently listed, but not as cheap as it's listed here! Drop me a line if you'd like to make it yours.
Banger from a great seller. these Flying Dutchman’s are serious must haves. if I didn’t already have a rose gold capped one I’d be getting this one.
SOLD through Instagram. Many thanks to Ash and Trev for the opportunity to offer up goodies here to fellow nerds - much appreciated.
