I'm intrigued by this one - particularly the mention of a Valjoux 69 movement. The case reference is listed in the ladies section of Sala so it's rather small, I take it.

That's truly a nice forum, with members having full knowlege and passion, that I share, but why do I notice that the very nice and rare pieces that are on ebay are not pointed out ?...

Why don't you start with pasting some links 😀

I have looked closely at that watch and it has all sorts of problems.

1) The hand on the 6 o'clock register is the thin type from the older style watch and doesn't match the other registers.

2) The second hand should be bright red, not orange.

3) The second hand is too long.

4) The bridge has been recently replaced and is not the correct piece for this movement.

It's a shame, as I got very excited when I first saw it. I hope someone isn't silly enough to pay the asking price for it!

While I don't know the first thing about these kinds of watches, I am aware that some of you are interested in them. Sharing this listing I just saw with you in case helpful.

Ha! Now this model is a "Nina" too? Well then I hereby declare my watch an "Evil Clapton Triple-Date Moon-Phase Nina."
Let the bidding begin at $30,000.
