Hmm, comment, post comment, what shall I put?...I know!

Gimme!

This watch is SO like the Royal Oak of the early 70's it's obviously un hommage, but we have no ads for this model and believe me, I have been searching for weeks!

Pristine dial, unmarked case, I would say expect a call from Geoff Baker anytime soon!

Unknown.

(Please post some pics of the guts and case back inside and out for DarHin!)

Bobbeee I think Sebastian has posted the pics of this watch in teh other similar 1960 unknown watch thread here.  I'm checking on this, and if so, we can move those pictures to this record.  PM sent.

Unknown at this time.

Is the date stamp on the back case? How was this watch dated?

Good Morning, I dated the watch to 1979 because I found inside the case back the insignia "N9". There was also a stamp (with link?) on the inside with N9 but it was washed away by cleaning the case. Also the movement (2892) was produced in the time period 1975-1983.

Hello, after 24 hours the watch was running +15s, so I decided to open and adjust (and take some pics). Some of the pics are not realy good but the best I can make with my equipment. Just one more question: As I know the ETA 2892 is a 21 Jewels movement, why is this a 17 Jewels?

The original ETA 2892 came with either 17 or 21 jewels.
