It was sitting there for 30 years before I grabbed it. It cost me appr. 300 Euro, not cheap back then but I knew the model was rare and above all I knew it came from an authorized dealer. The shop in the meantime has closed.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30329246.post-22194926995788403902012-09-07T13:45:39.335+08:002012-09-07T13:45:39.335+08:00Thanks for your post!

Maybe Watchco Australia could help?<br /><br />I've noticed when some of the younger corporate lads go beyond brand names they often discover their 'inner mechanic' and become very enthusiastic about vintage :)<br /><br />regards<br /><br />Desmond Desmondhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14148245572518221306noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30329246.post-498769102166975932012-09-07T10:10:27.061+08:002012-09-07T10:10:27.061+08:00This is great coverage Desmond of the story behind...This is great coverage Desmond of the story behind the "true" Jedi. <br /><br />I was lucky to acquire one sans a movement but otherwise complete (including a fine bracelet with end pieces as you describe) for very little money 3 years back. It sits in the watch box awaiting one of those serendipitous moments where I will see an c861 for sale. <br /><br />It is a very nice Chrono and a Richardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03695751365296578043noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30329246.post-55432200919440569572012-06-08T17:17:55.839+08:002012-06-08T17:17:55.839+08:00Yes indeed.
