Sorry.. am I not entitled to ask others about their thoughts regarding my watch? Good to know.

This is not a thread for promoting your product. Don't try to mince words - that's exactly what you were doing by calling it beautiful and linking directly to it in a thread for recommended watches.

It seemed raw be the real deal, hope it is all it seems.

Man! Just got the repair quote from my watchmaker; I should have let you get that one...

Rust in the movement, teeth missing from mainspring barrel, generic crystal, pitting at case gasket area, and, oh, BTW, a crack in the case that will require laser welding...

So much for "winning" an auction.

this 14393 looks like a pretty nice cross hair dome dial Connie Calendar
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Excellent...764518?hash=item43f50834a6:g:CpkAAOSw4shX2J-i

the lugs have just lost their edge but the dial really is nice (slight mark below the A in calendar?)
looks like onyx inserts
original cyclops crystal
most likely original (variant) crown
medallion okay with a little wear
not sure why it has a gold coloured buckle though (badly cast so perhaps a copy?)
rotor obviously has a bit of a wobble and needs attending to
I'll bet it looks great on the wrist
not too bad a price at $850 -perhaps the BIN seller might take an offer?

In Maine for all you US brethren (and sisters)

Loved the look of this one, too 👍

These have a bit more wrist presence than their dog-leg lugged sisters.

I couldn't agree more
Gratuitous shot of my two together from a previous post

We'll see when it arrives. I had put this on my watch list and you enablers pushed me over the top...

The rotor was my biggest concern otherwise it looks pretty sweet to my eyes.

I'll post some pictures when it gets back from a service.

congratulations!
glad to have helped - that's what we're all here for 😉
looking forward to the pics when you post
-there could be a ding in the crystal at 2 -so get it checked out too if it's in for a service
(it'll look even nicer without the cyclops anyway 😀)

I'm not a big fan of the cyclops but they don't bother me a whole lot either. I saw that ding too. Maybe some pitting on the back of the lugs...

We'll see what it needs.

Thanks! Seeing that crown on yours relieves one of my little anxieties.

I think.

It is correct, don't worry. These come with either the ten-sided crown or the variant that's on mine. I believe it is tied to the year of production, but haven't delved deeper into the subject.

Btw, this is my first enabling on this forum! It took me 2K worth of rubbish posts, but I got there! Woohoo! 😁😁
