Dubey LE Regulateur--Question for the Forum
Hi Everyone,
I recently acquired this piece and after searching exhaustively on the Internet, could not find anything about its history. I know many of you exist on multiple fora and wondered if those that were (are) on Time Zone remember this watch. I assume that the TZ out of 50 means that it was produced for TZ members as a LE from Dubey. My guess is that it is from the early to mid 2000s but who knows?
It ticks a lot of boxes for me: It is a regulateur, manual wind and a great size. Just curious if anyone knows anything about the watch.
Thanks!
