horologist Posted January 6, 2019 Report Share Posted January 6, 2019 not sure where this may have come from, but certainly nothing like anything I have seen offered by the recommended sellers on this forum. , Anyone have anything similar?

horologist Posted January 6, 2019 Author Report Share Posted January 6, 2019 I forgot to mention that it also comes with the stainless steel bracelet which was removed because the owner did not know that the glide part has a a spring bar to allow access for removing the back. There is a lot of lint on the crystal and everywhere from the dust of the tissue paper but otherwise in great condition The mvt seems clean and runs very smoothly. The only turn off for me is the size of case with ceramic bezel insert which measures just a tad under 39mm without crown, made worse that the dial would be impossible to replace as it measure 28.4mm. The owner has no idea where her ex-boyfriend bought it from and it is also a mystery to me as I have never seen anything like this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At least the case and dial show to be made for an eta movement and obviously whoever had it must have replaced it with a better quality one being From Rado!!! To be honest, I kind of like it as it appears to be more towards the 39mm than the typical 41mm sizes and if the lugs can be shaped down, it looks quite ok.!!! I would buy it for a couple of hundred dollars . That's me -each to their own!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It looks better in the flesh. The pearl is slightly discoloured! The room light did not do it much justice, however, at the very worst, the pearl can be changed if the new owner has anything better! I am not sure if she still has it as it was put up for my consideration, but I do agree with Timelord that t s quite an eye catcher in real life being far different than most of the replicas passing through my hands. It is not as bulky in size and it closely resembles the sizes of the older submariners which is what I like! I passed on it because I am slowly winding down and got rid of just about everything since our currency exchange rate has plummeted and worse still since eta parts are rarer and dearer to purchase! However the question remains as who the dealer was as I have never seen anything like this from those recommended on this forum!

mlfloyd Posted January 16, 2019 Report Share Posted January 16, 2019 Looks like a 2824 or 2836 movement.Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
