this particular piece was beginning of beautiful friendship
Our first encounter on PPro
and allow me to quote you back then
"Believe it or note, Ares501, the expert at Glashütte Original....
provided details of your friend's watch before I even saw your post! His comments are:
The type "Spezichron" is a wrist watch for men with an automatic winding system. There were two models - with day and date display, and with date only. The watch has a pallet movement with 22 rubies. The height of the movement is 6 mm and the width is 25.6 mm. Compared to the former model "Spezimatic", the frequency was increased to 4 Hz and the rotor was equipped with ball bearings. Approximately 400000 Spezichrons were produced between 1978 and 1985. As new, the value was about 200 Euros, but since these were meant as tool watches for everyday use, the value of your friend's watch should be assessed critically by an expert.
I hope this helps your friend understand a bit more about his grandfather's watch . . . cordially, Art
The rest is, as they say, history.....
Most cordially
