Hi all,

saturday afternoon I found a nice Vetta that mounts a Buren cal12.
When I entered in the watch shop (one of the oldest watch shop repair of the town) in a city near where I live and ask for some Heuer vintage timepieces the old watchmaker laughed a lot and told me: "Many others entered in my shop in these last years, I have nothing anymore...".
So before exiting I asked if he could have other watches that mount a Cal12, so this time a smile grew in his face and told: "Maybe I could have in the safe an old Vetta that I retired from a client many years ago", and that is (sorry for the extreme poor quality of the images, taken few minutes ago in artificial poor light):

The main bridge is marked "JRGK" (not Heuer obviously) and the watchmaker told me that JRGK was the swisse assembler of the Buren movement, I don't know if is true but I have taken this for good....

And this is as it should be if restored (images taken from an ad on an Italian local magazine):

Can anyone tell me something more about this watch?
The watchmaker told me that it is all original but this isn't important for me as I took it only for the value of the movement (good to make spare parts).... This evening I winded it and tomorrow I will wear it at work to check the timekeeping, but I can say that everything is working as it should :-)

Thanks for looking, cheers.
