polexpete Posted March 23, 2009 Report Share Posted March 23, 2009 Hi Stephane, just curious, the ETA 2789-1 isn't a GMT movement so is the hand fixed or has it been modified like our dealers 2836's. Also the stem alignment is much higher... very interesting. Go on, open her up... Cheers P. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shundi Posted March 23, 2009 Report Share Posted March 23, 2009 Seriously though, that's awesome! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stephane Posted March 23, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 23, 2009 Thanks again guys. @Pete: The mvt has been modified indeed. The Orange hand turns in 24 hours. It is not fixed. Now, my knowledge about mvts is very limited so I couldn't tell you precisely what mod has been done to it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stephane Posted March 23, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 23, 2009 Ah, ah, well for sure it would be a great "happening". But I won't let that happen. I mean I have a genuine Bergeon dice here, but I'm missing the 400 to 500 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alligoat Posted March 25, 2009 Report Share Posted March 25, 2009 Congratulations, Stephane, on acquiring a truely beautiful watch. I, too, wish RA was still around here, he is certainly a master watch builder. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elepaolo Posted April 2, 2009 Report Share Posted April 2, 2009 ...And finally I've seen it in the flesh. Well, guys, all I can tell you is that it's PERFECT. No one, and I mean even the most accomplished Rolex conoisseur, can call this a rep, if he doesn't open it an see the movement. Awesome, believe me!!!

vlydog Posted April 2, 2009 Report Share Posted April 2, 2009 Congratulations Stephane; a stunner for sure. You certainly deserve to have this piece in your collection. This is the one that I will always dream about owning. Oh well, maybe someday. Wear it in good health. B Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stephane Posted April 3, 2009 Author Report Share Posted April 3, 2009 Thanks for the kind words guys. @Vly: I'm afraid this one cannot be sold! And if it was, the price would be so insane that it wouldn't make sense... I tell you, I'm crazy @Paolo: Grazie per la tua compania. Guys, if you have a night in Rome, don't hesitate to spend it with Paolo. We spend two evenings in Brussels togheter and it is a great souvenir.

ThinkBachs Posted April 3, 2009 Report Share Posted April 3, 2009 I have to smile when I look at that bracelet. When I first started looking for watches to purchase, I would never buy a watch that had one of those cheap rolled link bracelets- CHEAP! I'd think to myself. Now, I see one on an old Rolex and think Ohhhh, VINTAGE! The next thing I think of: all the auction and antique dealers that I know that wear vintage Rolexes, and have a moment of reflection as I wonder about all the poor old ladies sitting in nursing homes thinking about the extra money they should have gotten for their husband's old watch. Running out to the store now, anybody need any cat food? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
