    I cannot believe this watch. It looks brand new. I have never seen original facets on a KO 2627 before.

    What do you think?

    I dunno...either some very skilled work or a watch that was genuinely completely forgotten about. Then again, I once bought a finely engraved nickel-plated Colt 1908 from someone's grandson at an estate sale that probably hadn't been loaded since the 30s-40s - heck of a bargain, and the family reaction was "ain't none of us even knew Mee-maw had a gun!" - so if a person can forget a gun, surely it's possible?

    Sure looks like a virgin drawer-queen to me! Is it your watch Tom?

    Wow... beautiful case. Hard to find a flaw... maybe a little corrosion on the hands. Think it is very nice... yours?

    Why did you pull it off the recommended watched thread?

    What are you waiting for? The only concern I would have is the location of the watch and seller.

    @SkunkPrince to quote a celebrity I once actually had to work for:
    "You can do eeeeet!!!"

    P.S. And once you do, we all want pics!

    the case is amazing - love the 6 o'clock date window. This is a bumper I assume.

    if you decide not to buy it, send me the details and I'll get it. Otherwise, send photos when it arrives.

    I have a nice one but has a non-luminous dial and hands. Gold cap is quite thick and should last a long time.

    It's absolutely gorgeous... And I see that the box inscription is in Spanish "Relojes de Alta Precisión" (High Precision Watches).
    Would you main tho share the price? Just to have an idea for futur oportunities.

    Looks nice! Set a timer right before the auction is over for the best chance

    If you could get this for under $1,000 you would do very well. Movement looks nice and minty.
