I didn't bought it. But I offered a higher price. I donot know what was wrong with the system at that time. Finally, the watch was bought by someone else.

How to Proceed

Well pretty cheap, congratulations. (I wasn't the buyer.) I guess the watch would easily increase strongly in value if treated the right and proper way. But what would be your suggestion how to proceed with this collectors item? - case restore? - restore ...
I'm also pay close attention to this rare watch.

Dear timeset I'm not sure the reference number . Are you sure its only showed side photos.I donot know the difference between them. In addition, and , in my opinion, in the same case shape. How to distinguish the two similar models? best regards
Difference between ref 3317 and 3318?
By: anon438 : August 5th, 2019-20:31
Hi Student, Welcome back here. There is no difference between those refs 3317 - 3318 - because they share the same case number. 1930 Vacheron & Constantin ref 3183 / 3184, is something completely different, a pocket watch with alternative time display: ...
ok

- 3318 also share the same case number?
ref 3317 - 3318 : one watch, one case number

The sold watch has a different number, therefore there are more than one watch of those ref 3317. The folding mechanism looks like a patented design. I would expect there are some more samples out there. But over the long term the technical concept may sh...

I experienced delays in data transfer and functionality whilst behind a massive hardware firewall (with a different auction house) also.
And now look at that...

This (far right) shows pretty clear what you can get right and wrong when restoring such a significant watch. What I like is the condition of the case. With the redial they probably should have targeted a more original look. My recommendation for the afic...
oh

the pictures above come from the same watch? I can't believe it. If I had the choice, I would rather keep the dial in its original condition.
No not the same watch...
By: anon438 : August 16th, 2019-01:18
Just the same ref.. I told you, I expected there should have been some more of those ref.
The later sample..

The price is amazing.
