I don't usually call watches rare but this is a rare and hard to find watch.

I'm open to offers, especially cash offers.

Any interest?

These don't come up for sale very often and when they do they usually sell for at least $5000 USD.

The last time one of these came up for sale on another forum, it sold for $4500 USD ($5977 CAD).

That one was in nicer condition than mine, but I've got this one ready to go for half the asking price of the other example.

This is a genuinely rare watch and movement that does not come up for sale everyday.
