    That is one of the original micro-rotor automatic movements, developed by Buren, and later used by many other manufacturers.

    Ok, fair enough.
    Won’t ship it over the Atlantic though, too bad.

    He’s an honest guy who gets a lot of estate stuff to sell. I’ve bought from him and never had a problem. Items are always better than his photography. I believe he’s a retired police officer.

    He’ll ship internationally, just not by 1st class airmail. I want to grab it but I have some other bids out there.
