    Well, my hobby is fixing watches. Although I have a small collection, this watch was intended to be re-sold. Hence the dilemma - I'm out over $300 with more stuff on the agenda. Interesting comment...

    A Curious Trading Situation

    With the recent elevation in gold prices, even a really good watch can be worth scrapping!

    Recently I bought a 14K 1940's Girard-Perregaux for $326, nice watch, I thought.

    It might depend where you live . .

    Here in Texas, correct pronunciation of anything foreign (outside of the triangle bounded by Dallas, Houston & El Paso) will reward you with a blank stare.

    Seems like only yesterday when Zilla showed up here with some technical but interesting posts.

    This thread certainly explains how he's racked up 8707 posts since then.

    Another Citizen diver

    Most accurate watch (not thermo-compensated, that is) I've owned.

    But the polypropylene strap was insufferable!

  20. Yes, the case is really nice

    Karl, thanks for the link . . the plot thickens! This one also says "JAPAN MOVT" on the dial.
    Makes sense though, why have two dial designs for the same watch if one does the job and does not lie?
