    Good afternoon All,

    I found this one at a pawn shop on my lunch hour today. It may be a common reference, but it doesn't jog my memory.

    Any guesses as to reference and/or caliber?

    A good cleaning and new crystal should help quite a bit.

    I'll open it up and share when I get home after work.

    Nice one! I need to check the local pawn shops again soon, I guess. It's been a bust each time before.

    Not bad at all! The case reminds me of the larger chronograph reference 2886, and I would've guessed it as a 2887. But of course I'm wrong, a beautiful find nevertheless with a guilloche waffle dial to boot! What a score!

    That's a tiny watch, 32mm, still having its original dust cover, which is not so usual. A very nice find, wear in good health! :)
