For Your Safety: A Message to All Buyers
- New Seller Notice: If a seller is new to the Collectors Market with less than 200 posts. While everyone starts somewhere, we strongly recommend using a secure payment method like PayPal Goods & Services or a credit card for purchases for buyer protection.
- Critical Security Alert: Established accounts can be compromised. Always request a custom timestamp (a photo of the watch with a note of your choosing) from any seller, regardless of their transaction history. For the highest security, a live video call is the best way to confirm the seller physically has the watch.
If a seller refuses these basic checks or you see any red flags, stop the transaction immediately.
Remember: A real seller with a genuine watch has nothing to hide and will understand your need for caution.
Gevril, when the brand was first reintroduced to the world back in the late 1990s and early 2000s, was actually releasing some very nice watches.
This was their flagship model. Released only in a series of 50 (all metals included ss, ss/yg, yg, rg, wg). I seriously doubt there was more than 10 yellow gold examples ever made. Mine is lucky number 8!
43 mm 18KYG case with an automatic movement: ETA based with a DD perpetual calendar module. Sapphire crystal in front. Solid back.
The pushers are cleverly hidden out of view and only accessible with a special tool which is included with the watch.
This watch is freshly serviced by a respected watchmaker from the PuristS community and has a one year guarentee from him. He took a few pics of the movement. I've attached a picture of the Perpetual calendar module 
.
The best part of the movement is because it's ETA based, service and parts are easily obtained. Maintenance is "affordable" unlike other in-house perpetual calendar movements.
Comes with original Gevril box (not the current ones) and the special case tool.
Original brown alligator stap is used but completely wearable and original 18K YG tang buckle.
Seriously, where can you find a solid gold, recently serviced, automatic mechanical perpetual calendar at this price?
Final reduction to 4500 USD + shipping . Open for interesting trades as well. Up, down or sideways. Trade value will be slightly higher.
Thanks, Mike
