FS: Maty Besancon calendar dive watch *LINK*

This is a very rad calendar dive watch by Maty Besancon, a private label jeweler based in (you guessed it) Besancon, France. The watch has a 12 hour dial and a date wheel, but also has a manually set calendar that tells you day of the week, day of the month, and month. The keyword is manually set: you use the two extra crowns to set these rotating dials every month, they don't change automatically. It's a very unusual piece just based on that function and would make a great weekend wearer. There are a couple of large scratches on the caseback. The watch was given a full service about 5 months ago by the individual I bought it from. The setting pinion was replaced, the crystal was buffed, and the movement was cleaned and oiled. The case is unpolished, and thus has wear from general use. I just took my listing off from eBay and this description is lifted verbatim from the post. I'll entertain any reasonable offers. I know how much BS gets posted up here; ask me to photograph the watch in front of a spoon, today's Wall Street Journal, etc. I'll do it.
