I hand it to you Jeff, you certainly know your stuff. It is indeed a Siffert and it has the 3,6,9,12 left hand sub. The hands are polished, or so it looks, but I can't be 100% sure of their originality. I was thinking it might be from around that time. Seems weird to think I have a watch 6 years older than me and that it's 40 years old next year. It's had a hard life up till now by the looks of it; Nic is going to take a look at it soon and give it a spruce up, but you know the saying, 'Life begins at 40'!! Perhaps I'll bake it a cake, white and blue icing of course...

Thanks again

: My estimate would place this one in the first half of 1970,
: making it a fairly early version. I do not have many serial
: numbers in this range, and nothing definitive, but that is my
: best guess.

: What can you tell us about this one: which style of hands? which
: numerals on the hour recorder?

: I expect that this would be an early version of the Siffert.
