This is from a 2012 auction. Ref 2930, circa 1958, serial number 15,769,268, only 4 away from watch above. Almost certainly from the same batch delivered to Saudi Arabia Markers and diamonds look the same. I'm not convinced that the other auction catalog is correct. I think that the portrait and the

Haven't posted here in many, many years. However, since you credited me with some pictures that I stole off the internet in the mid-2000's, I'd figure that I can show a couple that I took of my own Ref. 2179/5 example, for which you can give me credit: According to the family of the original owner,

...here's Blomman's example now: But I suspect that you want something a little more "tangible". I've linked this thread over to another forum where you are a member. Someone over there found an auction listing for Gus Grissom's LeCoultre, which was sold about 10 years ago. So now we have 4 examples

It was a bi

I will send you a PM with the crown I found online. Take care, gatorcpa

This one has come all the way from the land of Oz.
