Finally received my long awaited treasure - 1972 Prestige de la France in WG
My hunt is finally over - yet need to wait to be able to enjoy it 😡. HAGWE ! Thanks to all forum members who helped me along the way with advice - truly appreciate it.
It was shipped from france hence croc strap was removed 😫. Had to be custom made since it’s asymmetric.
Oh, I thought that customs law was applicable only to US.
The workaround is that the seller/shipper should have detached the strap and mailed it separately. Still, the new strap will be awesome when it arrives.👌🏽
By the way, it’s not just US. In my understanding if the watch is exported from CITES signatory country, it has to be removed before export. Of course the onus is on the exporter.
Thanks so much. Been hunting for this vintage for 4-5 yrs. finally it’s in my hands, but not on my wrist perhaps for another 3 mths.
Also seriously considering sending back to VC to restore movement. Do u think it’s good idea even though movement is working?
Interesting question ….
So I can give you a considered reply, have you seen the movement yet ?
Wow!
Reduction and simplicity at its best!
I am very curious how it will look on your wrist!
All the best
