I struggled even to keep a car before 30, not to mention a watch which is not an essential item in life. Congradulation, you have done well.

I am afraid it has a solid back and unlike 5970, it does not come with a crystal back. I shall try to post some pictures but my photo skill is very limited. I have challenged the AD several times but they confirmed with Geneva that a dedicated manual does not exist with this watch hence a question i

I recently acquired a 983 pocket watch from a dealer but it does not come with a manual dedicated to the calibre. Is it right??

From what the AD said to me, yes and you will also need an 'recommendation' from him. Meaning you must have a pretty good relationship with him. That's why I am asking here if this is right.

Is it true that MR and highly complicated watches are made to order? Call me conservative but I always want to see the watch before I buy and for the MR at least listen to the gong/chime... How long is the wait normally? AD said 3 years!!!!

How can I tell if the weight should clockwise or anticlockwise to wind up the watch?
