Not a Gallet by name....but under the hood, she is all Gallet

 

Thoughts on this piece that was just sold on the Bay? Looks like a pretty good piece?

 

Nice piece indeed: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/GALLET-T...=true&nordt=true&rt=nc&_trksid=p2047675.l2557Purchases made through these links may earn this site a commission from the eBay Partner Network

 

Looks more of a double date than a triple date with that washed away date chapter ring...for me that's reason enough to pass

 

Washed and retouched ... pass.

Interesting. You mind sharing where exactly? Chapter ring yes it’s barely there. All else seems ok, though I was a bit suspicious of the GALLET font as I seldom see them in these format on a triple date.

I was thinking of bidding but decided against as I wasn’t quite sure

 

Yup...

 

I simply love this brand, i actually own two multichron 12 “Jim Clark, i’m thinking to let the black one go even if i love both

 

I have two out for service:







I'm looking for a pusher for the "Jim Clark" and I will have the hands professionally relumed.

Both house the EP40-68 movement.

 

Damn...Dibs on the brown dial

 

Ahah so many dibs for the tropical

 

I completely missed the missing chapter ring

 

EP40

 

Have a Gallet by Racine pilot chronograph with EP 40-68:




Love the chronographs with EP movements.

 

Just picked up this Gallet ‘Snow White’ in very nice condition. EP40 and looks like early 60s. If anyone ever finds a list of serial numbers verses manufacture years please do get in touch...

 

here is mine:

its a Commander Excelsior park 42

 

Just found a very nice article here:

Won this in an auction. It hasn't arrived yet so these are auction pictures. It looks pretty good, good case, lume, hands and clean movement. Needs a crystal. Pretty pleased. I didn't know anything about Gallet until I stumbled on this watch so am doubly pleased at having discovered another brand as well as a new Jim Clark racing theme. Chronographs were already an interest so this broadens both my interests and education. This watch seems rarer than the speedmaster 321s that are readily available, even though crazy expensive. Feeling pretty, pretty, pretty good today.

I will check with my local watchmaker for service but am open to suggestions.

 

This feels like the brand to get into right now. How long before Hodinkee readers burn out on UG and Heuer and they have start stoking the flames of another brand to keep things fresh?

 

I now have four . . .

The two Multichron 12H:



An MC-45M "Snow White"
