You aren’t kidding. IT does garner plenty attention. Exquisite doesn’t even begin to describe it. It is quite amazing in person.

Enjoy your beautiful and original watch!
Lol. You may just prophesize without it being a word your prophecy from your divine source which may lead you to the answers you are seeking. Hmmm

Thank you,

I do agree that it looks a stunning watch on the bracelet. Love it.

So much work carried out to bring it back to life. The seller should be named and shamed.

Unfortunately the bracelet was scrapped and or sold to a great watchmaker. It went to a good home. I have a oyster bracelet for it so I really can’t complain.

I hope it helped cover the cost. Can't wait to see this completed ensemble with your gold oyster rivet bracelet, which I believe I have seen on your old 1675/3. Very nice! I think you will have the watch you always wanted. Or at least one of them.

EDIT: Those are some nice chamfers. Want.

Yes I did. It was a hidden clasp.
