Hello all,
Some time ago, I bought this caliber 12 movement, dial, and hands with the intention of finding a suitable case for the watch to restore it. Unfortunately, the project never got off the ground and I don't see myself having the time to finish it now that I'll be starting a new job. Thus, I'd rather move on and see what else I might be able to come away with in its place.
Visually the dial and movement are in very good condition. The movement hasn't been serviced and from what I can tell it has the following issues:
1) the oscillating weight is binding and does not spin freely.
2) the fly-back lever is broken and is missing the part where the pusher activates the lever.
3) one of the chronograph hands is missing.
Here is a link to the full-size photos as well: http://www.flickr.com/photos/dubfusion/sets/72157637620682304/
I'm primarily interested in trading it for another watch, e.g., vintage divers, heuer 980s, etc. but I'll consider just about anything in trade. I'm hoping that since this particular project won't come to fruition, I can at least come away with something interesting in its place. Alternatively, I'm willing to consider offers to sell it outright as well. Please note: I am not in a position to disassemble the movement and sell individual parts at this time. Please email me with any questions.
All the best,
Jason
