Hi all!
So far this has been an excellent morning,first I received a mail from Paul tipping me about an Orange Diver available on that auction site.I reacted promptly and swallowed a rather steep BuyitNow,the grail is mine!! Thanks Paul,I don`t know what to say..
Secondly two packages arrived at my doorstep today,and this was the best one:

Yep,it`s a Heuer Pro auto 844,of the early frenchmade Monnin-series.
A bit of a gamble this one,as the seller obviously did not quite know what he was selling,and did not accept bids from buyers outside the U.S.
I gave him an offer of 300 USD,and he accepted to do an outside deal for it.And yes before someone points it out,I admit there might be some doublestandards involved here...if anybody still remembers my case regarding the other orange dial.
Anyway here it is,gently cleaned and relieved of the hideous generic bracelet:
It actually turned out Jarl had spotted it as well,sorry about that mate!I guess it just goes to show there are still some bargains to be made out there.
Cheers!
Marius
