Came across this one through a mutual acquaintance but I'm not familiar enough with these to judge this one with any certainty, so, what say any Eterna-philes out there?



17j Eterna branded manual mvm't according to seller, runs well but no service history, no mvm't shot yet.

Birks was (is) a well respected jeweler in Canada. They were the distributor for Longines and Eterna going way back. They commonly had their name put on the dial.

Thanks for the quick input guys - I'm slightly familiar with Birks and have wanted one with their dial signature for a while - pics of course to come if all goes well!

I should add that I'm not certain that the crown is original. But that should be a relatively easy fix, if necessary.
